1.00 - 3.00 Credits
The graduate assessment course requires students to reflect, conceptualize, and clearly communicate what they have learned about human development from their life experience. Papers and presentations are the means by which this learning is documented. Papers must demonstrate a deep engagement with the topics as evidenced by the ability to articulate the developmental nuances, subtleties, themes, and patterns present in the student's life. Final papers are a result of a process that requires writing multiple drafts. While much of this process is an individual one, an essential element of this class is to be an active and participating member of the learning community. Fundamental to the assessment process is the ability to give and receive feedback. The course gives half time graduate standing to the student regardless of the number of units for which the student is registered in that semester. In addition, the student must pay the BA/Equivalent fee.
