Life span 1

Are your classes in quarters? I took Lifespan online but it was 16 weeks and covered infancy (actually some fetal development) to old age/death. It's pretty straight forward stuff.. I didn't care for it because I think I would have got more out of an in person class but that is a personal preference.

My classed focused a lot on the different theorists and their opinions on the stages and phases throughout life.

Nothing hard or tricky there if you can keep all the behaviorists straight.

mjmoon, I think k9kabs is talking about excelsior's Health Differences Across the Lifespan 1 exam.

There are tons of recent posts regarding this as lots of people have recently passed. Try looking on some of the I passwed LS1 threads. I've heard it's hard but doable. Know all the pathologies, signs, symptoms, diagnosing, and treatment including medications for the diseases listed in the study guide. I have also read that the practice tests are helpful. I am still working on my first section in LS1.

are these graduate degree classes? It sounds hard!!!

No, these are distance learning associate degree courses. We study on our own and then test on the information for credit. They are challenging, but doable.
