1. DEPARTMENTAL MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the department of Family and Consumer Sciences is
to provide an integrative study of the human environment and the systems that impact and strengthen
individuals, family units, agencies, businesses, and community at large.
________________________________________________________________________________
2. CATALOG COURSE DESCRIPTION: Theories and research regarding human development and family dynamics
and their relationship to apparel and textiles, housing and interior environments, food and nutrition, and other
human and non-human resources.
________________________________________________________________________________
3. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of this course successful students will demonstrate
 Describe, apply, compare, and integrate theories of human development and family/social dynamics
 Identify, analyze, and discuss current issues in family and consumer sciences, specifically focusing on
those relevant to development across culture

___________________________________________________________________

 Quizzes
 One-page synthesis essay of each weeks readings
 Five-minute teaching
 Interrupted Case Study Assignments
 Critical book review
Students will need a good working knowledge of both discussion and printed material, and are expected to

will result in your being asked to leave the class.
________________________________________________________________________________
5. QUIZZES: Will cover the topics from the weekly readings from Lives Across Cultures.
5.1 Make-up Policy: Make up for missed quizzes will be considered on an individual basis and circumstances will
require appropriate documentation by the student.
________________________________________________________________________________
6. ASSIGNMENTS:
6.1 Synthesis essays: For each class meeting, a 1 page essay will provide a synthesis of the week’s readings
(identify specific articles chosen) and a rationale for your teachings (i.e. what is the importance), conclusions,
questions….. The essay should always seek relationships between articles, compare/contrast points, discover
how an article completes or challenges another, how the readings connect to previous course topics…
Assignment is due at 9:30am on the day of the class
1
6.2 Five-minute teaching: Involves your synthesis (6.1 above) of all the week’s readings utilized. Two separate
points of teaching will be required in each class (these will be included in the essay, 6.1 above). If possible, one
teaching moment should come to a conclusion and the other to a question to be presented to the class.
6.3 Book review: A book review is not a book report. This review should be a critical reflection on the contents
and current significance of Another Country by incorporating other class materials/discussions, and your own
background, experience, and intuition, present an informed opinion of the current relevance (and cultural
relevance) of the book. In 4-6 pages, explore the role this book could play in the understanding of people of
your generation and your culture. Be creative, concise, and thorough. Some class time will be allowed for this.
6.4 Interrupted Case Studies: Case studies challenge students to identify with the individuals within context;
interrupted case studies use a progressive disclosure of information rather than giving away the entire
event/conclusion at the outset. Students will, at ten points in the semester, view individuals in a longitudinal
case study. At each point, students will (a) briefly describe where their subjects are at in their lives and why, (b)
review the accuracy of recent conclusions or predictions, and (c) make informed, theoretically informed
predictions of who/where their subject(s) will be in seven years. 1-2 pages per entry will be sufficient, due
before the next class.
6.5 Quick Thoughts (QT’s) 2 after each class.
6.6 Critical Reflection Essay: Review your work from this semester, particularly your QT’s, interrupted case
studies, and five-minute teaching synthesis essays. As you reflect, what trends do you see, what have you
changed your mind about, what did you say particularly well, what does your work say about you…? Utilize the
language of the theories we have utilized this semester when possible.
General instructions for all assignments: Work may be discussed with classmates, in fact it is encouraged;
however, each student must submit independently produced assignments. If your name is on the assignment I
will assume that all work is original with you. --- Submissions are to be double-spaced with a 12-point font.
Place your name on all assignments. Grammar, spelling, etc. will, oddly enough, be reflected in the grade.
