Section Description

This introductory survey course explores typical human development from conception to death. Students learn about human development as an integrative process between physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains. This course uses a lifespan perspective, understanding development as lifelong, multidimensional, multidirectional, plastic, and embedded in multiple contexts. Specific course objectives include the following: 1) understand the major theories and markers of human development; 2) describe physical, cognitive, social, and emotional processes that interact to foster healthy human development; 3) apply basic principles of the lifespan perspective to challenges in human development; and 4) critically reflect and evaluate how personal biases and multiple contexts have influenced their own development.
