Welcome to Psychology 360: Psychology of Childhood and Adolescence. This is a sophomore/junior-level course in child and adolescent development. This means two things. First, during the semester students will be looking at all aspects of human development, from the point of conception to the end of adolescence in quite a bit of detail. This is not a broad overview, or a general survey of developmental psychology. Details are important, and it is expected that students will be able to explain core concepts with a fair amount of accuracy and attention to detail. Second, it means that students are responsible for mastering the material found in the course outcomes, even if there are no specific assignments that relate to that material as they work through the course.
