This is an excellent project that will get your student invested into concepts of adult development. Interviewing across the life span project is a very hands-on experiential project that enables students to observe developmental process first-hand. Walton (1988) described the project in detail and asked her students to interview individuals from different developmental periods and phases of the life cycle and write-up their observations. Walton provided student ratings of course activities.
