General Course Information</h2> <h3>1.1 Course Details</h3> <p><strong>Course Code:</strong> PSYC2030</p> <p><strong>Course Title:</strong> Developmental Psychology</p> <p><strong>Coordinating Unit:</strong> School of Psychology</p> <p><strong>Semester:</strong> Semester 1, 2020 </p> <p><strong>Mode:</strong> Internal</p> <p><strong>Level:</strong> Undergraduate</p> <p><strong>Delivery Location:</strong> St Lucia </p> <p><strong>Number of Units:</strong> 2</p> <p><strong>Contact Hours Per Week:</strong> 2L2T</p> <p><strong>Recommended Pre-Requisites:</strong> PSYC1020 or PSYC1030</p> <p><strong>Companions:</strong> PSYC1040, if not taken in first year</p> <p><strong>Course Description:</strong> This introduction to lifespan developmental psychology focuses on key issues in development and ageing, including early social development, the role of early input in language acquisition, attachment and intimate relationships, child-rearing, moral reasoning, memory and problem-solving. A cross-cultural focus is adopted wherever possible.</p> <p><strong>Assumed Background:</strong> <p>Students are strongly advised not to undertake PSYC2030 unless they have completed PSYC1030. PSYC2030 assumes a basic knowledge of developmental topics covered in PSYC1030, as well as familiarity with searching for research articles and writing research papers. Students who disregard this warning may find some of the material difficult, and will not be given special help to compensate.</p> </p> <h3>1.2 Course Introduction</h3> This course provides an introduction to lifespan developmental psychology, emphasising recent theory and research. It is not possible to cover all aspects of human lifespan development within any one course, and so lectures will feature key issues, sometimes focusing on some age ranges more than others, but using examples from other ages. Throughout, the course will emphasise developmental psychology as a research discipline. Students will learn to understand and think critically about theoretical issues and empirical research and to communicate this understanding. <p><strong>Course Changes in Response to Previous Student Feedback</strong></p> <p>Student feedback from last semester's course evaluations have been considered. In addition, the course is constantly undergoing revision and both lecture and tutorial programs have been significantly changed following previous feedback - including a more prominent placement of cross-cultural developmental transitions, and more discussion-based tutorials. We welcome student feedback throughout the semester.</p> <h3>1.3 Course Staff</h3> <div class="staff"> <div class="staff-person"> <p><strong>Course Coordinator: </strong>Professor Mark Nielsen</p> </div> </div> <br> <h3>1.4 Timetable</h3> Timetables are available on <a href="https://my.uq.edu.au/public-timetable" target="_blank">the UQ Public Timetable.</a><br> <p><p><strong>Additional Course Administrator Information</strong></p> <div>Phone: 3365 6230</div> <div>Email: py-undergrad@psy.uq.edu.au</div> <div>聽</div> <div>Student Advisory Sessions run聽Tuesdays 2-4pm and Thursdays 9-11am in the McElwain building (24A) you can book an appointment during these time via UQ Book It聽<a href="https://uqbookit.uq.edu.au/">https://uqbookit.uq.edu.au/</a>.
