THE NAME OF THE TEXTBOOK USED IN THIS COURSE/CLASS IS “HUMAN DEVELOPMENT – A LIFE SPAN VIEW” 8th edition. I would be glad if my writer can make use of this “very” textbook. Thank you.
Exam Project Instructions
General Overview
o Choose a concept from the course that has been covered in the first half of the
semester and provide examples of this concept that is seen in the media (TV shows,
movies, books, podcasts, youtube videos, etc.).
These depictions can be taken from fiction or from non-fiction sources.
You can use any source you like, the only thing I ask is that you find the
source on your own. Do not use specific sources that are mentioned in class or
posted on the Canvas page. The goal is for you to pull from a media source
that you have found and that is of interest to you. You can use some of the
sources as a jumping off point.
For example, I have links to some podcasts. You can find a specific
episode from that podcast on your own and use it, but if I have linked a
specific episode, then that one is off limits.
Some specifics
o First you need to find a concept or topic that is in the course that is of interest to you.
Then you are going summarize the content from the course in your own words.
o Make sure you are choosing a topic that has been covered in the first half of the
semester.
o Next you are then going to do your best to describe how the concept is portrayed or
discussed in that media source that you found. Essentially you will summarize the
content of that media source.
You should also provide a link to the source. For example if it is a podcast,
copy and paste the episode info and podcast info, if it is a book copy and paste
the title of the book or include a screenshot of the book. Essentially, I need
you to provide me with enough information that I can find the content that you
are describing.
o Finally you are going to tell me to the best of your abilities if the topic from the
course is correctly or incorrectly or partially correctly discussed in the media source
that you find.
This is where you need to really think critically about the topic you have
selected, about what you have learned about the topic, and if the media source
depicted the topic/concept correctly.
