This Lifespan Development course contains eleven modules, which provides room for flexibility to teach the course within a variety of semester constraints. In a common fifteen-week semester, instructors may pick the areas they prefer to emphasize and stretch these modules over two or more weeks. The “smallest” modules are the first introductory module, Lifespan Development, and the final module on Death and Dying, but the modules on Middle Adulthood and Late Adulthood are also a bit smaller. The largest modules, that could easily be drawn out to cover more than one week, are those on Infancy, Early Childhood, Middle Childhood, and Early Adulthood.
