PSYC 317WI Advanced Child Development
From previous courses, students should be familiar with the scientific method and some of the research techniques that psychologists have used to study human development. In this course, students will build on this knowledge base and learn to think of child development in a broader, more universal human perspective. They will also learn to apply specific scientific findings to the development of children. Course readings and topics will cover cognitive development, social development, personality development, and emotional development. Additionally, students will write one to five papers (minimum 6,000 words) critically evaluating a book or topic in Developmental Psychology. This course fulfills the writing intensive course requirements for Psychology majors.
