Adolescence-Focused Course Syllabi
Below is a collection of adolescent-focused course syllabi from various institutions. Some of the syllabi include learning activities, such as article analyses (Arnett), various paper and presentation topics (Meschke), and learning groups with specific roles for each student to create an engaged and active classroom (Qin). While most of the syllabi are from general adolescent psychology courses, there are some focusing on specific aspects of adolescence such as problem behaviors, community engagement, parent-adolescent relationships, and a laboratory on adolescent development.
If you would like your syllabus to be included on this list please email Linda Juang at juang@uni-potsdam.de.
