AP Psychology 12 – APSY-12

About

The AP course is not one in which you play a passive role, simply absorbing information presented by the teacher. You will be asked to take an active part in forming your own questions and analysis. In AP Psychology there are a considerable amount of terms and concepts you must master. However, you must do more than memorize information provided by myself or other sources. You will be asked to apply this information to real life situations via class discussions or through concisely written free response questions.

Students in this course will prepare to write the AP Psychology Exam, which includes a 70-minute multiple-choice section that accounts for two-thirds of the exam grade and a 50-minute free-response section made up of two questions that accounts for one-third of the exam grade.

AP Psychology can count as a course to apply to some post- secondary institutions. In addition, upon successful completion of the exam, you will be granted first year university/college credit. The AP Psychology course is designed to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behaviour and mental processes of human beings and other animals. Students are exposed to the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major subfields within psychology. They also learn about the ethics and methods psychologists use in their science and practice.
