St. Kate's Lifespan Development course

Hi Toots,

I'm in this course now, and I am really enjoying it (though we're only two classes in). I'm not sure if the professor is the same each year, but this semester it is Jim Robinson, who I really like so far. The work seems very manageable right now. There is about 60-120 pages of reading between each class (some classes are every other Saturday; some are back to back Saturdays), a project and two take home exams.

I'm not sure how Nutrition is set up, but I would feel comfortable taking another course along with Lifespan, so I think you'd be just fine.

Hi,

I took Develop Psych at STK, also in the WEC format. I had a different prof and my tests weren't take home. But overall the class was not that bad and the book wasn't necessary. My prof taught from powerpoint slides and the book was just in case students needed more clarification on an issue/ topic.


I also took nutrition separately at STK. But it was during the summer session (one month of class every Mon-Thurs). Again it was doable.

I think you should be able to manage both classes at the same time.

Good Luck!

I have taken both at St Kates (am doing semester 1 of nursing classes now)
Both are manageable, nutrition especially is fairly easy. I got a B+ without putting much effort in at all. The psych is pretty easy...the study-guides for the test are the kind that you can just go through the chapter in the book, look for the bold words, and just write down the definitions. Pay attention to the Erikson stages in lifespan. You will NEED to know these for nursing (really about the only thing from that class you really need to remember, lol.)
