- Recall a childhood challenge, how one coped, and the support received from family, school, or community. Explain how the support helped or added difficulty.

- Explain how brain development affected a decision made as a teenager.
- Explain how developing a positive ethnic and sexual identity in adolescence boosts well-being. Discuss how this protects from discrimination and supports a healthy transition to adulthood.
- Competency 2: Use scientific reasoning and information literacy skills.

- Competency 4: Describe the relationship between lifespan development knowledge and a meaningful professional direction.
- Explains what from the text can immediately apply to work, school, or personal life.
- Competency 5: Communicate professionally with proper mechanics and effective organization.
- Write clearly and effectively with a few minor areas for improvement in conciseness or organization. Ideas are mostly logically organized. Allow few grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors, and these do not detract from overall understanding.
- Use APA style citations, with fewer than three errors.
- You really dont need AI software in this class, but if you are going to use it, there are some important things to keep in mind:
- The correct way to complete the assessments is to read each textbox prompt, reflect on your experiences, use the assigned textbook for class and paraphrase relevant material to help you understand your experience, then cite the textbox. That approach will earn you distinguished ratings on each criterion!
- Only use the assigned textbook for your assessments! The in-text citation and reference is included in each assignment template. If you include a different textbook citation and/or reference, that is a red flag that unethical AI use occurred.
- You really don’t need to use an AI tool for this class. However, if you use an artificial intelligence (AI) tool (e.g., ChatGPT) when preparing any assignment, you must include a statement that describes that use and cite the AI used. Other important notes:
- The majority of assignment content must be your own writing!
- Content generated by the AI tool must be cited.
- You must verify the accuracy of any content generated by the AI tool, and you are responsible for the accuracy of the content. AI software creates fake references, so you must verify the accuracy of all sources!
