AP Psychology provides an overview of current psychological research methods and theories. Students will explore the therapies used by professional counselors and clinical psychologists and examine the reasons for normal human reactions: how people learn and think, the process of human development and human aggression, altruism, intimacy, and self-reflection. They’ll study core psychological concepts, such as the brain and sense functions, and learn to gauge human reactions, gather information, and form meaningful syntheses. Along the way, students will also investigate relevant concepts like study skills and information retention. The equivalent of a 100 level college survey course, AP Psychology prepares students for the AP Exam and for further studies in psychology and life sciences. Access to this AP course is outside of our usual learning management system. Instructions for access will be sent to the support email after enrollment is processed.Recommended Prerequisite: Biology
