The end of the semester reflective paper MUST be hard copy placed in my department mailbox. Papers under my office door may or may not be placed on my desk--where I may not be able to find them! (No one who has seen my desk would ever do such a thing.) I DO NOT OPEN OR ACCEPT EMAIL ATTACHMENTS (e.g., WORD documents) so please do not send them. PLEASE DO NOT SLIDE PAPERS UNDER MY DOOR
OR THE EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY & LEARNING SYSTEMS SUITE DOOR! There
is a good chance I will never see them.

ask for a digital copy of your work. For example, I upload all presentations
into Blackboard.

REQUIRED TEXT |
When books go to a new edition, they often offer new topics and discard or rearrange the prior topics. Even when the chapter descriptive titles remain the same, new research is added. Please explore the outlets of your choice to obtain the CURRENT edition. Another possibility is for two students to share a text.
SOME NOTES ON READINGS AND ONLINE COURSE GUIDES:
My overarching goal is to have you become conversant with major ideas, influences and vocabulary in development, especially psychological, behavioral and social development.
I've created my required reading guides to serve as "lectures," basic orientations to the material we cover in each section. I also include some issues and controversies when I would like more coverage than I find in the course readings or when new research (e.g., on new USA marriage patterns) is released. The guides do not substitute for class attendance; they are to familiarize you with the material so that we can use class time for discussion, demonstrations, videos and video analyses, team-based learning, and your presentations.
I strongly recommend that you first read the associated and linked online guide for each of our 8 major topics. Then read the assigned chapters in Boyd and Bee. In some cases, you will have a team-based/individual quiz on that topic (see below) and these summaries will give you a good idea of what will also be emphasized in our readings. In other cases, you will have an in-class team based project for a course unit.
I always create the guide pages on the mailer server first and send the drafts up to the Internet as a "cyber-backup." That means that much material in the early drafts will be gone or drastically rewritten before the page is finished. I place a construction sign on the early drafts of each guide. Please do not use the pages until after the construction sign is removed. You will know the page is "done" and ready for use when I have linked it in Blackboard.
Be sure that you
are reading the 2013 DEP 5068-01 online pages
because occasionally I have not removed an obsolete link. The message at
the top will tell you the year.

I use plus and minus grading, throughout and for final grades.
Participation in class discussion and class attendance are a definite consideration, especially when a student is "between grades."
In addition, your participation in team projects is totally done in class, thus class attendence is critical for your grade..
Adherence to principles of essay organization, and the conventions of spelling and grammar is expected and understood on all written assignments. The course presentation MUST relate to the Lifespan in some way.
FSU policies on academic honesty are followed. Plagiarism, cheating, and other scholarly misconduct are totally unacceptable. As a rule of thumb, when in doubt, cite the source!
See this site for how I calculate final grades.
