Myers Your ability to do well in this class is predicated on your keeping up with reading assignments, primarily from, but not limited to, this text. I highly recommend that you purchase an AP study guide as well, (Barrons and McGraw Hill are both good) as it will help you prepare for unit tests. It will not be possible to cover every single topic potentially on the AP exam, and you will be responsible for filling in any gaps that exist between what we learn in class and what is in your AP study guide. Required Materials: 3-ring binder at least 2 inches in size, for AP Psych only Binder dividers 14 for the year Notebook paper for taking notes and in-class assignments. Index Cards for Vocabulary. Colored Pens, Sticky Notes or Highlighters for note-taking
2 Grading: Grades will be based on points in the following categories. A standard grading scale will be followed. 80% Summative: Unit tests, projects. Midterm and final exam. 20% Formative: Quizzes, homework, classwork, notecards, preparedness/participation. Course Expectations Assignments: All assignments are due on the date specified, unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. Ample notice will be given for any assignment or exam. No late work will be accepted. The amount of homework depends on the unit being covered in class. There are assigned pages to read in the textbook, or other readings, provided every night. Additionally, there will be periodic projects and research that will need to be completed outside of class. Note Taking: You are required to take notes during all class lectures, in addition to those taken for assigned readings on your own. Chapter notes will be checked randomly throughout the week. Keep all notes for each unit in the correct section of your binder. Moreover, as a studying skill, it is important to review your class notes while they are still fresh in your mind. Please note that if you are absent it is your responsibility to obtain any notes you may have missed. Notes may be used on some assessments. Participation: Psychology is a very hands-on course, with plenty of class experiments, activities and discussions. Participation in these is vital, as it directly impacts your full understanding of the material. You will also be expected to come to class having done assigned reading in order to best prepare you to participate in discussions. Participation will be worth points which you will earn through a variety of classroom activities. Tests and Quizzes: Tests will be scheduled on a regular basis at the end of each unit and will aid in the development of skills necessary for success on the AP Psychology exam. These tests are modeled on the AP Exam, with several multiple-choice questions and short answer questions. Each test may contain review questions from earlier units and will be times. Please note that if you are absent on the day of a test it is your responsibility to schedule a make-up time for the exam. Quizzes are randomly scheduled at least once each unit and range from using fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and/or multiple-choice questions. Furthermore, we will have a comprehensive midterm and final exam. Quizzes may be scheduled or a surprise! Since it is assumed that you are keeping up with your reading, any and all information is fair game regardless if we covered it in class. Notecards: You will be required to create notecards for all vocabulary terms in each unit. The quantity will vary depending on the unit. They will be due the day we begin a unit and returned the following day. Please bring your notecards with you to class every day for vocabulary review. Additional Assignments: Given to students are class presentations, group projects, and papers. These assignments vary with the unit being covered. Exam Review: You will be able to engage in review for the AP exam during the two weeks before the test. This will include vocabulary work, practice exams and class review sessions. The Psychology AP Exam will be held on: May 4, 2015
