Note to prospective Fall 2008 students: The course will be just about the same as what you see on this current website for Summer 08. The main difference is that we will be covering more material because there are four more weeks in fall quarter than in summer, and of course all the due dates will be different. SUMMER QUARTER 2008 NORTH SEATTLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Welcome to this Lifespan Developmental Psychology class. In this course, we will explore the developing person across the lifespan and across cultures. We’ll examine development from the perspective of major theorists in the field, scientific evidence supporting and/or refuting those theories, and examine newer theories that place more emphasis on cultural factors impacting development. Much emphasis will be placed on application of theories to enhance the lives of individuals and the functioning of groups with which they identify. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Nancy Finley (After the quarter begins, enrolled students should contact me only from within the FirstClass virtual classroom to insure good communication.)
