USA: Wadsworth Cengage Learning, Sattler, David N. and Virginia Shabatay. Psychology in Context: Voices and Perspectives, 2 nd ed. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, Course Description and Objectives AP Psychology introduces students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings. However, in order to successfully achieve this objective, students in AP Psychology will: learn about some of the explorations and discoveries made by psychologists over the past century; examine the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major subfields within psychology; assess the differing approaches adopted by psychologists, including the biological, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, psychodynamic, and sociocultural perspectives; and learn about the ethics and methods psychologists use in their science and practice in order to come to an appreciation of how psychologists think. CR1 Evidence of instruction in history and approaches. CR2 Evidence of instruction in research methods. As a result, students will be prepared to do acceptable work on the AP Psychology Examination. The course is divided into two semesters. First semester begins with the Scope, History, and Methodology of Psychology and continues through Intelligence and Psychological Testing. Second semester picks up with Consciousness, Memory, and Language and concludes with Social Psychology. Within this framework, students will examine the major core concepts and theories of psychology. 1
2 Assessments and Grading Students will be expected to complete weekly homework assignments. The amount of work given for the week will vary depending on the unit being covered. Students will also be responsible for keeping a double-entry electronic journal that they are to write in twice a week. The purpose of this doubleentry electronic journal is to promote critical thinking and encourage independent exploration about the material at hand. Short reading quizzes will be given on a weekly basis to encourage students to keep up with the reading assignments. These quizzes will range in style and will include fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and multiple-choice questions. At the end of each unit, students will take an objective, multiplechoice exam that covers material from the textbook, supplemental readings, online discussions, and online lectures. Each exam will also include an essay portion. Students will receive a list of possible essay questions one week before the exam. However, the question they are to address in the unit test is of my own choosing. Students will also complete a total of four major projects, one per quarter. These projects will include but are not limited to group projects, research projects, Power Points, and/or book/movie reviews. The following grade distribution will determine the overall grade for the course: Tests, Essays, and FRQs: 40% : 15% Discussion Board/Elluminate Sessions: 15% Semester Final: 10% Quarterly Projects: 10% : 10% The plus and minus system will be used in determining a students grade. Grades ending in.6 or higher will be round up to the next whole number. The grading scale for the course is as follows: 95%-100% = A 74%-76% = C 90%-94% = A- 70%-73% = C- 87%-89% = B+ 67%-69% = D+ 84%-86% = B 64%-66% = D 80%-83% = B- 60%-63% = D- 77%-79% = C+ Below 60%= F 2
