PSY 223: Lifespan Human Development
Below is information relevant to Dr. Alea's Summer I 2006 Lifespan Human Development course. Syllabus, lecture notes, exam reviews, and other materials are posted throughout the semester. Periodically check this website.
Lecture notes will be posted a few days before each lecture. Bring these notes to class because we will cover material very quickly during the summer. Not all material covered in class is provided on the lecture notes. Thus, in order to do well in the course, you must come to class so that you can take additional notes (e.g., examples, in-class activities, etc.) during the lecture.
