Document Summary

Office hours: friday1-2 (or by appointment or by chance) The goal of the course is to give students a broad understanding of the principles, theories, and facts of child development. In plain english, i want to teach you the fundamental theories and concepts necessary for understanding child and youth development, as well as some of the details of that development. The course tries to strike a balance between teaching the material (giving fish) and teaching the students how to learn the material themselves (teaching how to fish). Matters because we are going to be working with children and children deserve our very best. The test will be mc, not cumulative, based mostly on the text but also on lecture material. Mid-term will be in this class- show up on time! Missed mid-terms will generally be pro-rated to other grades (so the rest of the grades will be worth more) The basic structure of the seminars revolves around debates.
