COURSE DESCRIPTION: (Catalog) This course presents a life span, developmental approach to the study of the developing person that identifies the behavioral dynamics of the physical cognitive, social, and affective domains of development with the view to the impact of family school and community.
TEXT The Developing Person through the life span. (6th). BERGER. Worth: 2006
COURSE OBJECTIVES: This course will: .....1. provide an understanding of the scientific method as applied to developmental psychology and the study of human behavior. 2. introduce the basic facts, concepts, and principles of lifespan psychology. 3. provide a general understanding of the basic psychological perspectives including biological, psychoanalytical, behavioral, and cognitive.4. provide a foundation for further study in the field of developmental psychology (human growth and development). 5. Provide an opportunity for the student to focus on an in-depth area of study through observational methods.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:
Class Attendance Policy: Attendance is expected in order for the student to derive the full benefit of the course. Attendance will be taken and used in the computation of final course grade as part of class participation. No unexcused absence per term. Unexcused absences in excess of one will result in the overall grade percentage being reduced 5% per absence. At any time the number of absences (both excused and unexcused) exceed 25% of the total for the course, the student can expect to receive a failing grade. A student may be dropped from the course for excessive absence. It is the student's responsibility to get the notes, make up work, etc. for absences. Course Requirements: 1. attendance/participation 2. examinations 3. assignments (as specified)
Examinations/Evaluation Plan: 4 tests will be administered according to the exam schedule below. Exams will be of mixed format (e.g., multiple-choice, short-answer essay, etc.) over the chapters specified below and lectures. Exact format will be announced in class. Pop quizzes may be given at any time. Pop quizzes are usually triggered by poor attendance and/or evidence of poor student reading. Course format (Instructional methodologies): The course will consist of a mixed format of lecture, discussion, demonstration, and media presentation. As students will often be called upon to discuss the text reading, it is STRONGLY recommended that students read according to the reading schedule below. College closing/bad weather/instructor absence: Class meetings can occasionally be called off owing to bad weather, instructor absence for illness, or a weather closing. Students should know that in any cancelled class situation, deadlines for tests/papers/projects, etc. Will be in effect for the next scheduled class date. Read according to the reading schedule below. HCC Weatherline: 296-4444
GRADING: Final grades will be based on total points on all exams/papers/assignments. Each exam = 25% (N.B.-- assignments, if any, will be weighted as announced.) The final grade distribution will approximate: A = 90% and above D = 50 - 59%
B = 80% - 89% F = 49% and below
C = 60 - 79%
N.B.--The instructor reserves
the right to adjust the curve down (e.g., A = 85-100, etc.) but not up. Late
assignments reduce grade by 20% per day. Pop quizzes may be given at any time. Course
context: The social sciences in
general, and psychology in particular, study the entire human drama. As such, it is
important to understand that classroom discussion may cover issues that some
students may find touchy. Discussions
are often explicit in material and conduct.
Thus be aware of the following: Explicit material and content may be
covered in this class. Topics may
include: mental disorder, abuse, criminality, violence, abortion, addictions,
human sexuality, etc. If a student is
uncomfortable with the course content, or if they have questions, please seek
the advice of the instructor. Classroom conduct: In a community of scholars, norms have evolved
for the benefit of all. While orderly discussion and healthy debate are
strongly encouraged, it must be remembered that issues may elicit strong, even
emotional, reactions from students. Students will have diverse opinions on the
issues and students need to respect other person's points of view. Students may
not necessarily agree with all the points made in class, but at least respect
others enough to listen and add comments. No one in the class has all the answers. The hallmark of a scholar is respect.
Students are asked to refrain from coming late; from talking during class
(except for discussion sessions); from eating/drinking/using tobacco products
during class; and from doing non-related coursework. No cell phones---turn them off. Class participation:
Participation in class discussion(s) is expected. Participation will be
evaluated on the following criteria: mastery of content/reading, use of
appropriate technical vocabulary, demonstration of knowledge of the relevant
psychological principle(s), exhibition of a positive attitude, integration of
information from several theories, critically analyzing textual/lecture
material and demonstrating an increasing grasp of the use of psychological
principles in everyday life. Make-up Tests/Exams: One day is set aside
at the end of the semester for the purpose of making up all tests. The date is
noted in the course schedule below. All
exams missed (for whatever reason)during the semester
must be made up on that specific date. Student
