Developmental Psychology (ODE)

Course description

Using a developmental psychology lens this course focuses on providing students with an opportunity to improve understanding of self. Through personal reflection students examine the human lifespan from conception and prenatal development through old age and death. Students gain understanding and perspective of their development across physical, cognitive, social and personality contexts. Examination of fundamental theories, historical arguments/perspectives and current issues provide opportunity for critical thinking and application of influences to one’s development within the student’s life.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
