See the assignment description for more information.Adulthood Case Study Analysis Peer Review Discussion (Responses due by end of Week 9)Submit the draft of your case study analysis and you will provide peer reviews for two other learners who have analyzed the same case study. For example, if you analyzed the Angela case study, you will also review two of your peers’ analyses of the Angela case study. (You are encouraged to review the analyses and accompanying peer reviews from the other two discussions to enhance your learning, but are not expected to post responses to them.) See the corresponding discussion for more information.The instructor and/or teaching assistant may also provide feedback that—coupled with the peer review feedback—can provide guidance for any modifications to your case study analysis prior to submitting it for grading at the end of Week 10.Final Adulthood Case Study Analysis (due by end of Week 10)After making any changes based on your peer reviews and/or instructor feedback, submit your completed Adulthood Case Study analysis for grading.
For this assignment, you will complete an analysis of a case study that deals with one of the following stages of lifespan development:

Late Adulthood.
You will select one of the following case studies from your Broderick and Blewitt textbook to complete an analysis of the developmental and contextual issues related to the selected case. Each of the case studies includes a set of questions that can guide your analysis of the pertinent issues for the particular case.Select one of the following case studies to analyze:
Angela, page 436.
Tayib and Rachel, page 474.
David, page 554.
ExpectationsFor each case study you will be expected to:

Appropriate lifespan development theory and research-based alternatives that explain the presenting challenges.
Potential impact of individual and cultural differences on development for the current age and context described in the case study.
Evidence-based support from lifespan development theory and current scholarly research to support appropriate interventions.
A conclusion that summarizes what was introduced in the body of the paper with respect to the case study context, challenges, and interventions.

Post your Angela Case Study Analysis for peer review. Note: You are expected to post a completed Case Study Analysis, not an outline or an incomplete draft. This allows you to receive valuable feedback on your work that you may want to incorporate into your final draft. It also honors your peers’ time and efforts as it is difficult to review an incomplete assignment. You will receive reduced credit for this discussion if you fail to submit your case study, or if your case study is incomplete.
Provide peer feedback for two fellow learners, using the Peer Assessment Rubric provided in the Resources area. A document that has examples of basic and proficient feedback, Sample Comments for Peer Assessment Rubric, is also provided in the Resources area; use it to help you understand how to craft your feedback.
Your instructor and/or teaching assistant may also provide feedback. You will combine this with the feedback of your fellow learners to make any modifications to your case study analysis prior to submitting it for grading by the end of Week 10.Follow these steps to complete your peer review:
Post your analysis of the case study for Angela by Wednesday of Week 9. Be sure to include the title of the case study in the title of your paper.
Select two case study analyses to review from this discussion. (Note: If you see that a learner has already received two peer reviews, please review another learner’s case study; the goal is for all learners to receive at least two peer reviews.)
Use the Peer Assessment Rubric located in the Resources section. Peruse it carefully along with the Sample Comments document; both will help you understand what you should be looking for as you review the case study analyses.
Carefully read your peers’ case study analyses. Take notes as you read through them, using the Peer Assessment Rubric as your guide.
Complete the Peer Assessment Rubric for each analysis by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday of Week 9. Make sure that your written feedback is balanced, specific, and substantial. Responses such as “Good Job!” “I agree,” or “I don’t understand” are not acceptable. Your comments should help learners to understand what they have done correctly and how they can improve their work.
Be sure to incorporate any feedback from your instructor and/or peers that you feel will strengthen your analysis prior to submitting it for a grade.Note: Although you will only be critiquing analyses from the discussion question you selected, you are encouraged to review the analyses of the other case studies your classmates selected to enhance your learning.
