1 AP Psychology Course Syllabus Teacher: Mrs. Tobii Mason Address: Room: 2005 Phone Number: Course Description: The Advanced Placement Psychology course is designed to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals. 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. The Advanced Placement Psychology course will offer students the opportunities to learn about the explorations and discoveries made by psychologists over the past century. Students will get the chance to assess some of the differing approaches adopted by psychologists, including biological, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, psychodynamic, and sociocultural perspectives. Students will also learn the basic skills of psychology research and develop critical thinking skills. The Advanced Placement Psychology course aims to provide students with a learning experience equivalent to that of most college introductory psychology courses. This course will prepare students to successfully conquer the AP Psychology Exam. Textbook: Myers, David G. Myers Psychology for AP, 2nd Edition, New York, Worth, 2014 Textbooks will be assigned during the first week of class. Reading assignments in the textbook will be given out nightly. Suggested Additional Resources: Strive for 5: Preparing for the AP Psychology Examination, 2 nd Edition, Worth, 2014 (ISBN- 10: ) Free and Open Resources on the Online textbook website, accessed through 5 Steps to a 5 AP Psychology Review Book Barron s AP Psychology Review Book The Mason 5 Be s Be Honest Be On Task Be Organized Be Prepared My Expectations: Be Respectful 1. Follow the Mason 5 Be s 2. Commit to this class and effectively prepare for the AP Psychology Exam in May You must arrive to class before the bell rings and begin the daily warm-up. Class starts on time and ends on time. If you are late or need to get organized, don t be dramatic about it. Be quiet and respectful. 4. Come see me if you are having problems. I am on your side. I want to help you. If you don t know what to do, have a question, need help getting organized, or anything else, please come see me BEFORE it is too late. We are on the same team. I am here to help you be successful. Don t forget that!!! 5. All work you submit must be YOUR OWN! Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated. I will be checking to ensure that any work you submit is your own and not copied from another student s work. If it s not your own work, you will earn an automatic zero. 6. Use of MCPS Chrome books will be regulated by MCPS technology policies. 7. All Wheaton High School and MCPS procedures and policies are in effect. Absences: The MCPS / Wheaton High School Attendance Policy will be followed. If you know you will be absent ahead of time, or for a considerable amount of time, please let me as soon as you know so we can discuss what you will be missing. Attendance is especially important in an Advanced Placement class. Excessive absences will have a negative effect on your grade and your success on the AP Psychology Exam. Makeup Work Policy: Google Classroom is a valuable resource in finding out what you missed if you are absent. At the beginning of class on the day you return, you will be expected to turn in any assignments that were collected while you were out. Schedule with me after school or during lunch to make up an exam or quiz these cannot be made up during class time. Remember, making up work is your responsibility!
2 Late Work Policy: This is an AP College level course. This means that I expect you to turn in assignments on time! It is a disservice to your learning and education when you turn in work late. The deadline for an assignment to be turned in is at the unit exam for which it was assigned. For all work turned in past the deadline, as per the MCPS grading policy, the assignment will automatically be reduced 10%. Please note: I do accept assignment turned in via Google Classroom, NEVER VIA . Please make sure you submit your assignment under the correct assignment and your completed work is attached / linked. Handing In and Taking Back Assignments: Students are responsible for handing in all assignments, unless otherwise announced by teacher, via the Ravens Bin located in the classroom. Students must place assignments requiring submission in the Ravens Bin, at the beginning of the class period (before the bell rings or within one minute after the bell rings). Any assignments not submitted at the beginning of the class period on the due date are considered late. Students are also responsible for taking back graded assignments, unless otherwise announced by teacher, via the Student Mailboxes Students may find their graded assignments in their folder under their class/period. Students may collect graded work at any point before class, after class, during lunch, etc. However, tests, papers, and other large-scale assignments will be handed back personally to students. Grading Policy: Grades are based on the following scale and follow all MCPS regulations regarding grading and reporting: A = % B = 89 80% C = 79-70% D = 69-60% E = 59% and below In this class, assignments are broken down in the following way: Summative Assessments (exams and projects) = 50% Formative Assessments (apply & practice activities, classwork, reading quizzes, etc.) = 40% Homework (vocabulary and reading questions) = 10% Materials and Supplies: It is highly recommended that you bring the following to class everyday: A three-ring binder (preferably a 2 with dividers) Lined loose leaf paper ( sheets) Pencils and blue / black pens Highlighters (optional - great when taking notes) Assessment Practices: Unit Exams - These exams are modeled after the AP Exam, with 30+ multiple-choice questions (answer choices A-E) and one FRQ to be completed in approximately one block class period, 90 minutes. Although unit tests will focus on the present unit of study, some questions will be cumulative. Unit Exams will be counted as summative assessments. Projects / Presentations Students can expect to be assigned projects and presentations (group and individual) during each unit of this course. These summative projects and presentations will be assessed through rubrics for content, grammar, organization, structure, and creativity. Reading Quizzes - These are scheduled at least once each unit and use the AP Exam multiple-choice format. These will be counted as formative assessments and may be scheduled with Mrs. Mason for reassessment during lunch or before/after school. Unit Reading Questions - Each unit will have a set of reading questions that students are expected to answer while they are completing the module readings. These reading questions are crucial to learning the content in order to be successful on the AP Psychology exam and in this class. Reading questions will be due on the day of the Unit Exam. Unit Vocabulary - Each unit will have a set of vocabulary words. Students are expected to define these vocabulary concepts in their own words, either on flash cards, typed, written, or using various web applications, such as Quizlet. The unit vocabulary will be due on the day of the Unit Exam.
