Individuals should leave this class with an understanding of the basic issues, theories, and methodologies currently of interest to researchers of developmental psychology. The text must be read as preparation for each class. Consult the topic outline for weekly reading assignments. The textbook is fairly long and demanding. It contains a lot of information and will require concentration and effort on your part.
Students are responsible for BOTH the assigned readings and the lecture material.
Not everything that is discussed in class will be in the text, so it is your responsibility to get the notes from any class that you miss. The student is responsible for any material missed due to an absence of any nature. I will not provide lecture notes for any missed lectures. School policy may be followed for drops. It is not my responsibility to drop you if do not come to class.
