Aha!
You know those times when your brain goes, “I get it!” That sudden moment when you completely understand something? That is an Aha moment. You get it, you understand, you discover, and/or something finally makes sense.
During the course of this class, we studied human development from conception to adolescence. Each stage focused on physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Theories were introduced that helped explained different areas and stages of human development.
I want you to look back and find your Aha moment from this class. Something that was covered in class that answered a question or helped you better understand something.
It could be an experience in your own life that you now understand better; why your children behave in certain ways; why or how someone is responding to the current pandemic, etc.
The goal of this assignment is to find a meaningful application of the concepts covered in class to better help you understand an event, behavior, reaction, thought process, etc.
