instead of having adults come in, i have students do homework assignments where they interview adults (their roommates or other young, middle, and older adults) and compare answers. we can get at cognitive, moral, social, emotional, religious development by doing this. i teach adult and aging as separate from child and adolescent development but i have hands-on observational and interview studies in each class.
