Seminar in Human Development

The seminar in human development will focus on issues in the area of human development, broadly defined. The course will focus on the social sciences and engage other areas such as philosophy, linguistics, and English. Students will be exposed to major theoretical perspectives, multiple methods for investigating issues (both qualitative and quantitative), and real-world application of theories and research. Grading will involve participation in the seminar and a research proposal of such quality that it could serve as the basis for the students' thesis proposals. cr 3
