PSY 3080

This course explores children's development in depth by focussing on the various domains of change from birth to adolescence. Themes of change and stability throughout childhood are examined using analytical and descriptive theories of development. Implications of developmental approaches are examined for practice and public policy domains. Lectures, in-class assignments, and research projects are designed to encourage students to assess critically these developmental changes and to apply that understanding to other contexts. Three hours a week NOTE: Students who have taken either 3040 or 3410 will not be eligible to enrol in 3080 without the instructor's permission.
