AP Psychology

AP Psychology is a beginning course that will examine the facts, principles and phenomena of the behavioral and mental processes of human beings.  This course will include a special focus on ways in which the theory and practice of psychoanalysis informs the broad field of psychology.  This special focus will allow beginning students of psychology an opportunity to view psychology through multiple perspectives.  Case studies, experiential modeling, and traditional classroom activities will engage students in the 14 major subfields in psychology within an interdisciplinary framework.   The course is designed to facilitate students in gaining insight into their self and their relationship to others.  Students in this class are expected to take the AP test.
