AP Psychology

PREREQUISITES

Elective open 11th and 12th graders.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The purpose of the Advanced Placement course in Psychology is to introduce you to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals.  Students are exposed to the empirically-supported psychological facts, research findings, terminology, major figures, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major subfields within psychology. 

 

AP Psychology is a highly structured, very demanding course.  You will be required to thoroughly read the college-level textbook and prepare text-notes, prior to attending the lecture on the assigned reading.  One of the primary objectives of this course is to expose students to all areas of information covered on the AP Examination.  This is accomplished through lecture, class discussion, video clips, and select outside readings as appropriate, socratic seminars, demonstrations, and projects.
