Development is multidisciplinary.
Development is plastic.
For each principle
Provide a complete definition/explanation of what developmental psychologists mean by this
Use at least 3 examples (each from a different stage of development) to bolster your explanation and provide details. These examples may be personal experiences, experiences of others, experiences shared/portrayed in the media, and/or visualization (e.g., pictures, comics, etc.)
Your response to this prompt should:
Be written in complete sentences and paragraphs
Be at least 500 words in length.
Reflect your own thoughts and work. You are welcome to include outside sources, with proper attribution, but are not required to do so.
Be submitted with the multiple-choice section of your final exam. I highly encourage you to work on your essay prior to the day of the exam so that you can simply copy and paste your response. Access will be allowed to Google or Apple docs for the exam so that you can do this with the lockdown browser in place.
Please note that the use of AI programs to compose your essay is not acceptable and *is* considered a form of academic dishonesty/plagiarism and will be addressed according to the course policies as such. Your essay responses will be screened for the use of any such programs.
