Myers, Psychology 7 th Edition Recommended Supplies Three-ring binder with dividers (at least 14 one for each unit) AP Psychology Review Guide 5 Steps to a 5 Course Assessments: This class is a combination of lecture, discussion, group work, coverage of discussion questions, and answering student questions. Assignments will include one or more of the following per unit: Chapter Tests Terms Quizzes Unit Appropriate Projects PsychSim Assignments Reading and Vocabulary Quizzes are normally given after the completion of a reading assignment, although they may be given at any time. Quiz questions will usually include: multiple choice, identify and discussion. Students are responsible for keeping up with reading assignments and being aware of and ready for quizzes and tests. Writing assignments will accompany each unit of study in the form of a free response question. These will be scored according to the rubric as used by the College Board. 1
2 Projects and group presentations are integrated into the course. The grade weight of these assignments will be determined according to its level of difficulty and complexity. Class Participation is a vital component of this course. You will be keeping a cumulative notebook it is your responsibility to include the following information for each unit. Vocabulary Notes/Outlines Free Response Questions Class Handouts Outside Reading Assignments Tests: A comprehensive test will follow each content area. You will also have Unit Tests every 9- weeks reflecting the content covered during that time period. These tests are designed to be rigorous and to challenge students at the AP Exam level. They are composed of two parts: Objective multiple choice. Essay free response. Test dates will be announced prior to administration. As this is an advanced level course, tests are not retaken. Be sure to thoroughly prepare for each test. Outside Reading and Class Discussions: Supplemental reading will be assigned to accompany some of the units of study. Class discussions follow a Socratic Circle format which will assess student participation along with the analysis and application of the documents. A rubric will be used to calculate each participant s grade. Attendance/ Makeup Work Policy: Attendance in this class is essential. Much of the material for success is provided through lecture/discussion. Missing class can create problems. If you check in or out of school on a day when a long-standing assignment is due, you are expected to turn in the work on that day even if you miss my class. No homework is accepted late as the assignment is normally discussed during class. While some exceptions may apply, a class absence is not an excuse for not meeting a deadline. No assignment is accepted late for any reason. Tests are announced well in advance. Those who are absent the day prior to an assessment are still expected to take the test. Make up work is defined as work assigned during a student's absence, not work assigned prior to an absence. All missed work and assessments are the responsibility of the student when they are absent from school. A student who is absent on the class day before a regularly scheduled assessment will be responsible for completing the assignment on the regularly scheduled day and time. The student has three (3) school days upon returning to school to make arrangements with me to complete make-up work. This does not include major projects, research papers, etc., where the deadline has been posted in 2
3 advance. The teacher has the discretion to grant a longer period of time to make up work if there are extenuating circumstances. Excused Absence Students are allowed up to 3 school days to make arrangements to complete the assignment for a maximum 100% credit. Unexcused Absence Students are not allowed to make up work for an unexcused absence. Grading Policy: Please remember that this is a college-level course and will be both challenging and demanding. Nine-Week Grading Policy: Tests = 60% Homework/quizzes = 40% Study Techniques: The reading load is considerable, especially in the first 7-10 weeks. In order to cover the maximum amount of material with the least amount of stress, becoming a part of a study group is definitely encouraged. Each student is expected to read all text material, outlining discussion questions and supplemental readings may be shared with your group. You are responsible for understanding all of the material for testing. The amount of time required for homework for this class will vary with your reading speed. Assignments vary in length. Check with me or with other students in your class if you re absent from class in order to find out missed assignments. Time management is an essential skill for this class, and you must take the responsibility for budgeting your time. As you become accustomed to the course format and texts, things will fall into place and become easier. It is important to not get discouraged. Create a study group. The Key to Success: The most important guiding factor in this class is consistent effort and improvement. Do not be discouraged if your grades seem low in the first grading period. If you knew the material already, you wouldn t need the course. Effort and improvement are weighed heavily in grading. What you will learn in terms of writing, thinking, and study skills will be worth the effort. You are responsible for reading in the textbook. Lectures and activities will not necessarily reflect the content material in the text. Tests, however, will come from that information. Special Note: Students are expected to take the AP Psychology Exam in May. Availability for Extra Help: After school from 3:15 4:00. Please make an appointment. 3
