The equivalent of an introductory college-level course, AP U.S. History prepares students for the AP exam and for further study in history, political science, economics, sociology, and law.  \nThrough the examination of historical themes and the application of historical thinking skills, students learn to connect specific people, places, events, and ideas to the larger trends of U.S. history. Critical-reading activities, feedback-rich instruction, and application-oriented assignments hone students’ ability to reason chronologically, to interpret historical sources, and to construct well-supported historical arguments. Students write throughout the course, responding to primary and secondary sources through journal entries, essays, and visual presentations of historical content. In discussion activities, students respond to the positions of others while staking and defending claims of their own. Robust scaffolding, rigorous instruction, relevant material, and regular opportunities for active learning ensure that students can achieve mastery of the skills necessary to excel on the AP exam.  \nPrerequisite: None  \nThis course has been authorized by the College Board® to use the AP® designation.  \n*Advanced Placement® and AP® are registered trademarks and/or owned by the College Board®, which was not involved in the production of, and does not endorse this product.  \nCourse Delivery Method  \nOnline  \nContacting Your Instructor  \nYou may contact your instructor through the Blackboard messaging system.
