Course description
This course introduces varied domains of human development across the lifespan (e.g., from conception to death), such as cognitive, emotional, social, physical, personality, and language. Development will be explored through historical, social, and cultural lenses and through the use of life course and human development theories. The impact of family dynamics on individual development will also be discussed. Throughout the course, customizable virtual simulations are used to immerse students in developmental concepts from the prenatal period to late adulthood. Students' choices within the simulations combine with environmental and genetic factors to shape the development of their virtual character.
