This was the first on-line course in the Child Development and Family Studies Department at City College, and I am very pleased to be teaching it.
The text for the course is Development of Children and Adolescents by Hauser-Cram, Nugent, Thies and Travers. 1st edition (2014). It is also available in loose-leaf format and as an ebook, and is widely available online. There are many versions of the text but only one edition, so the ISBNs will vary. You need only one version.
In addition to the text there will be required readings and videos in Canvas. Assignments include a weekly forum and quiz, two short papers, two child observations, a midterm and a final. There is a sample syllabus attached at the bottom of this page.
Looking forward to meeting you!
