Family and Human Studies (FHS) 1500: Lifespan Development
Here are two examples of my best pieces of work from my Family and Human Studies class. I chose to display two of my observation papers. In the first observation paper that I chose to showcase (titled Observation #3), I went to a child care facility where I observed children from a certain age group (in this case ages 5-12 years or middle childhood) and wrote up about the things I saw that related to what I learned in class. In the second observation paper (titled Observation #4), I interviewed one of my neighbors to gain information on adolescents. These were the assignments I learned the most from because I applied my learning to real life. It was fun for me to see how these concepts could be used on a day to day basis to understand people in different age groups who are growing and developing through the lifespan.
These two assignments connected a lot with my psychology class that I took last year. In psychology I also learned about how humans develop, much like I did in this class. I even used the same textbook for both classes. This class re-emphasized the concepts I had learned earlier and I found that the things I learned sunk in deeper for me this time around. These signature assignments have allowed me to grow as I applied my learning in life.
