East Bay Human Development Program Analysis

California State East Bay provides an excellent Human Development program. The program is broken down into emphasis categories (i.e: Human Development emphasis on Early Childhood) which helps students take classes only for their required degree. The Human Development program is created to help students who are focusing on a specific career choice and help them understand the fundamentals while getting some general experience (hands-on experience in certain courses). Every student has a Blackboard account created once a person becomes a student. On Blackboard, the major department provides information on classes to take, advising and a place to communicate with other students who are apart of your major. It’s extremely helpful for students who are new to a university. Human Development (emphasis on Early Childhood) my major and looking at all of the classes I’ve taken, there is one class in particular (human development 3303) …show more content…

One of the resources provided are advising checklists with a list of classes. The lists range from first time students to transfer students and which classes you should take based on your foundation (i.e if you’re a junior or senior). Now, Adult Development and Aging is a junior foundation course. The course speaks for itself, it is all about adulthood and the new developmental stages elder people go through. I do not believe this class best serves as a required class for this major because it doesn’t relate to child development and what the major is focusing on which is children. The course that should be replaced with Adult Development and Aging should be Human Development 3800 which is Human Development and Interaction. This class serves a better purpose for the major because it’s basically about all the interactions you would face in different social perspectives and how you will apply the understanding to the human

Children who grow up in poverty are faced with a series of issues which impact their education and social atmosphere. In both the school and home setting these children lack the proper resources which they need to succeed academically. Across the country, people have begun creating programs which aim to help children in poverty succeed, despite their socioeconomic status. These programs range from after-school reading, tutoring services, charter schools, and free summer programs. All of these programs provide children with extra academic help which they may not be receiving in school or at home.

General education classes are a common aspect of universities all across the country. However, after examining the statistics, I believe that colleges are requiring too many classes outside of students’ majors. Not only are students forced to enroll in courses that they are not interested in, but they are also struggling to stay motivated in school. Since students are not retaining the information gained in these classes, colleges are also putting these individuals in an unnecessary amount of debt. While there is merit in taking these general courses, the amount of classes needed over four years is discouraging and expensive.

Upon looking through the course catalogue for FS classes, I found many that appeared interesting, including sections: two, five, six and twelve. These FS sections cover and discuss an eclectic span of topics, from Entrepreneurial leadership to music to the effects of Globalization. If I had my pick of any of the FS courses I have listed, I would choose to enroll in Section 12: The Human Animal. This section touches upon psychological topics and integrates them into a contemporary and extensive look on human behavior and its portrayal in different forms of media. Since I plan on majoring in Neuroscience, which requires proficient knowledge of Psychology, this FS class would introduce me to topics I will undoubtedly cover in the future.
