Child Psychology is the study of the concepts and principles of growth and development in infancy and childhood. This course will cover issues in child development, heredity, prenatal development, and birth, physical development, cognitive development, and psychosocial development.

This is a fully online course with no on-campus meetings.

 

However, this course does have a proctored final exam that will need to be taken at a campus testing center (or online through Proctor U, which requires a small fee).

During the first week of class, you must complete the Syllabus Quiz from the course orientation, or you will be withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will not satisfy your attendance during this time. As with an on-campus course, students who are reported for non-attendance in an online course and are withdrawn are still responsible for paying for the course. If you do not complete the requirements of the first week of class, you should drop the course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.

 

It is very important for you to actively participate in this online class. If you stop participating in class discussions, do not submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior to the withdrawal date, you will be withdrawn from class and receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.

If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F. To avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to your instructor. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement.  See the list of activities required for participation and attendance on the General Course Policies page.
