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.  \nCourse Outline  \nThe following major units of study will be covered during the school year. The semester breakdown is tentative and may be changed due to circumstances. The outline is a basic guide. It is not intended as an all-inclusive list of topics.

Students will prepare to score at least a three (3) on the AP Psychology Exam.  \n2. Students will study the major core concepts and theories of psychology. They will be able to define key terms and use them in their everyday vocabulary.  \n3. Students will be able to apply psychological concepts to their own lives. They will be able to recognize psychological principles when they encounter them in everyday situations.  \n4. Students will develop critical thinking skills. They will become aware of the danger of blindly accepting or rejecting any psychological theory without careful, objective evaluation.  \n5. Students will build their reading, writing and discussion skills.  \n6. Students will learn about psychology as a profession and become aware of the educational requirements that must be met to pursue such careers. They will learn about the ethical standards governing the work of psychologists.  \nCourse Characteristics  \n1. This is a college-level course. College level attitudes, work habits and products are expected of all students.  \n2. This class requires more reading than the typical high school honors class. Students who want to do well must complete all assignments on time.  \n3. Class time is important. Students who want to do well must attend and participate in class regularly.  \n4. Evaluations (grades) are based on the mastery of the material.  \n5. Learning is ultimately the responsibility of the student. In an advanced placement course, students are expected to be interested in their own learning and willing to devote the time necessary to explore the course content as fully as possible. A reading schedule and calendar are provided, so students can plan and prepare for the classes. Readings, assignments, quizzes and exams are listed on the date that they are due.  \nAP Psychology Exam  \nThe AP Psychology exam is administered each year in early May.
