Traffic Ed & Adolescent Brain.

Catalog description

This is an introductory course to neuroeducation (or mind/brain education) that incorporates cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and education, and specifically explores how the adolescent mind/brain functions, and relates these to traffic education. The emphasis will be on developing a practical understanding how the mind/brain systems work, and making practical applications of that knowledge in designing traffic education lessons for young drivers. Graduate credit requirements are described in the course syllabus. If this class is taken at the 500 level, it is a graduate course and expectations for student performance are at an advanced level. Evaluation of course requirements is more rigorous than at the lower division section of this course.
