This course offers an introduction to the processes of adult development and aging, including changes in physical, cognitive, and socioemotional functioning and psychological impacts and behavioral adaptation associated with age-related changes. Challenges and opportunities that longevity and aging may bring will be also discussed. A multi-dimensional approach to learning (e.g., lectures, readings, films & videos, guest lecture series) is adopted to convey information. Varied methods are also used to evaluate learning progress and facilitate knowledge acquisition (e.g., individual/group exercises, quizzes, exams, essay assignments). Students’ critical thinking will be broadened in three ways. Specifically, they will be able to (1) evaluate adult development and aging with a life-span developmental perspective, (2) be mindful of stereotypes associated with older people and aging processes, and (3) apply the learned knowledge to prepare for a century-long life.
