Summary
Students will select an individual and complete a comprehensive case study, applying course concepts to analyze their personal and environmental factors and developmental stage.
Purpose
This papers allows students to synthesize a wide range of human behavior theories, and apply this information to assessing a real person.
Detailed Tasks/Key Components
It’s important, both academically and professionally, for students to be able to effectively communicate in writing. Of course, theory doesn’t help us if we can’t connect it to real people! In this assignment, you’ll get to apply what you’ve learned about a life stage group you’d like to work with by writing a case study (6 pages) on a child, young adult, midlife adult, or older adult that you know (family, friend, client). You may also choose a book or film character if you have enough information. Please do not “make up” a person for this assignment. If you have already completed a case study for another class, please choose a new subject for this assignment.
You will apply theory and concepts from class readings by describing the biopsychosocial-spiritual elements of this person, analyze their life stage, and describe their role in a group and formal organization. Within each section, you will connect what you know about the subject of the case study to what you have learned in class. For example, is their developmental level typical for someone in their age group? What “stage” are they in using various theories (Fowler’s faith stages, Piaget’s cognitive development, etc.). Additional information about each section can be found on this assignment rubric.
