Human+Development-+Adolescence+through+Adulthood

Welcome to Adolescence through Adulthood. This is a class designed for you to understand people not only during the pre-teen and teen years, but also during the different stages of adult life. Throughout this class we will discuss and do projects which will help you understand how to deal with each of these stages of life.
