Students should select a person in one of the three adult life span stages that he or she is familiar enough with that many of this information would be common knowledge already. An example would be a family member, a child of a close friend or relative, or a well known public figure. The person should be a different adulthood stage from the UWA student. This will allow the student to discuss the six areas of development through general knowledge of the person and through any additional observation needed.

As this review is based on what is probably innate knowledge through natural association, it is not necessary to interview or get any paperwork signed by the adult that the student is describing. No name or initials of the person should be included – just refer to the person as “This person.”

An example format is provided with which the student should take the example and type in their own information on the title page, after section headings, and on the reference page for references used besides the course textbook workbook. A grading rubric is provided with this assignment in Blackboard and a completed rubric will be provided by the instructor with the student’s grade. Students are also encouraged to check their own work with the rubric.
