Both components will be included in the calculation of students’ final AP scores.  \n▶ Academic Paper—75%  \n▶ Presentation and Oral Defense—25%  \nAP Research Through-Course Performance Task Weight: 100% of the AP Research Score  \nRecommended Completion Date for Both Components: April 15  \nSubmission Deadline: April 30  \nNote: Teachers must carefully plan a calendar that provides time for the task to be completed, scored, and uploaded by April 30.  \nTeachers must upload and submit the following by April 30:  \n▶ Internal Score Report for the following components:  \n› Academic Paper (AP)  \n› Presentation and Oral Defense (POD)  \nRetention of Performance Task Presentation and Oral Defense Videos  \nAP Research teachers are required to keep video files of all performance task presentations and oral defenses for a minimum of one academic year because the College Board may request to review the scoring for these components to identify samples for scoring training and to ensure scoring quality.  \nTask Overview  \nStudents design, plan, and implement a yearlong, in-depth study or investigation in an area of personal interest through a chosen or designed inquiry method and develop a well-reasoned argument based on the evidence collected in an academic paper of 4,000–5,000 words. As a culmination of their research, students deliver (using appropriate media) a presentation and orally defend their research design, approach, and findings. Students whose academic paper is accompanied by an additional piece of scholarly work (e.g. , performance, exhibit, product) must arrange for the teacher and panelists to view this work prior to the presentation and oral defense. Throughout the inquiry process, students communicate regularly with their teacher and, when appropriate, consult with an internal or external expert.  \nReturn to Table of Contents  \nAP Research Course and Exam Description © 2016 The College Board 47  \nAP Capstone Program  \nComponents  \nThe following components are formally assessed:  \n\n| Component | Scoring Method | Weight |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Academic Paper (AP)\u003Cbr>4,000–5,000 words | Teacher scored, College Board validated | 75% |\n| Presentation and Oral Defense (POD)\u003Cbr>(15–20 minutes total for presentation followed by three or four questions from a panel of three evaluators) . | Teacher scored | 25% |\n\nTask Guidelines  \nStudents develop a research question/project goal on a topic of their own choosing in an area of personal interest. They submit an inquiry proposal (see Inquiry Proposal Form, p. 55) for the teacher’s approval, and teachers provide feedback that helps students refine their research questions/project goals.
