Abstract
A project for an adult development course is described. The project helps students apply the theory and research they study and develop basic interviewing skills. Students interview individuals from different phases of the life cycle and write a paper discussing their subjects' lives in terms of major developmental psychology concepts. This article describes how the students are prepared for the project and how they are evaluated. Some potential problems are discussed.Keywords
