Lifespan/assignments

Here is the list of assignments for the semester (some are NOT in the lab manual so that I shall provide handouts with the necessary instructions). We shall attempt to make these assignments coincide with the sections of the text, that is, the topics/issues that we are covering at that time. There will be several additional assignments, including some internet assignments. The internet assignments will reflect some updated information about some critical issues in lifespan psychology.
