Laramie Senior High School Course Syllabus Teacher: Cory Scimeca Department: Social Studies Course Name: AP Psychology Location: 108 Schedule: Periods 1, 5 and 7 Contact Information: Planning hours are 3rd and 6th. Email: [email protected] Course Description: The AP Psychology course is designed to introduce the students to the systematic and scientific study of behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals. Students will be 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. Standards Addressed: Social Studies Standards 2 and 5. Concurrent Enrollment Info: Students may receive college credit from many Universities by earning at least a 3 on the exam. Curriculum Outcomes: Our goal is to learn about the field of Psychology through an intense study. Discussion and projects will aid in our study. This class is designed to prepare students for the AP Psychology Exam. Students will not only have an understanding of key themes in Psychology but they will be able to think critically about these topics. They will be able to understand current research in Psychology. Course Pathways: Students who are successful on the AP Exam can usually skip the Intro to Psychology course required by most Universities. I will also treat this class as a college course. You will benefit from gaining useful information and it will also help you with the intellectual challenges you will face in college. It will be an intense experience and I hope you are ready for a challenge. Intro to Psychology is not a requirement for this class. Many students have taken AP Psychology without taking Intro and have been very successful. Careers: There are many possible careers with a degree in Psychology. Materials and Supplies: Students will check out a textbook that is to be returned at the end of the year. Students are also expected to bring a binder, writing utensil and paper to class. Fees: N/A Text Resources and Supplemental Resources: Meyers, David G. Psychology AP Edition, 9th ed. New York: Worth Publishers, 200 Topics: The topics on the AP exam are as follows (the percentage listed is the frequency that this topic will appear on the multiple choice section of the AP Exam): History and Approaches 2-4% Research Methods 8-10% Biological Basis of Behavior 8-10% Sensation and Perception 6-8% States of Consciousness 2-4% Learning 7-9% Cognition 8-10% Motivation and Emotion 6-8% Developmental Psychology 7-9% Personality 5-7% Testing and Individual Differences 5-7% Abnormal Psychology 7-9% Treatment for Psychological Disorders 5-7% Social Psychology 8-10% Calendar and/or schedule: (see attached pages) Academic and Behavior Expectations: Students are expected to participate in class and keep up with the workload. The AP course is designed to prepare students for college. Reading assignments will be given on a daily basis. Students should read and take notes on the material. Students should come to class with questions about the readings. Students will also need to study outside of class for the exams. The exams are challenging and test corrections are allowed for half credit. These must be turned in and done correctly a week after the exam. Safety: During a fire alarm, students should turn right out of the classroom and go out the door at the end of the hallway. Students should assemble as a class once outside. During a tornado, students should assemble in the hallway outside the classroom. They should sit against the lockers and wait further instructions. During a lockdown, students should assemble in the front corner of the classroom. All the windows need to be shut and the door needs to be locked. Students need to remain quiet and away from doors and windows until an announcement is made. Guests: After the AP exam, I schedule a variety of guest speakers.

Students will be expected to keep up with the fast pace of the class to ensure all topics are covered for the exam. A variety of review materials will be handed out during the review. It is highly recommended students keep their study guides from each chapter to use during review. Exam: The AP Psychology Exam includes a 70 minute multiple choice section that accounts for twothirds of the exam grade and a 50 minute free-response section made up of two questions that accounts for one-third of the exam grade. Students are no longer penalized for incorrect answer choices, so guessing is to your advantage. The free-response question will evaluate your mastery of scientific research principles and ability to make connections among constructs from different psychological domains. You may be asked to identify a general problem in psychology using concepts from different theoretical frameworks or sub domains in the field, or to design, analyze, or critique a research study. – The College Board The exam is Monday, May 4th at noon. AP Grades: You will earn a letter grade in the class for Laramie High School. You AP Exam will also be scored by AP teachers around the nation. The multiple choice section and the essay scores are combined and the results are converted to a composite score on the AP 5 point scale. AP Grade Qualification 5 Extremely well qualified 4 Well qualified 3 Qualified 2 Possibly Qualified 1 No recommendation Class Grading Exams: All students in AP Psychology are expected to take the AP exam. The exam will be Monday May 4th at noon. Room assignments will be given later. An exam will be given after each unit. A mid-term and a final will be given in addition to the AP exam. Test corrections are allowed and are due one week after the exam. Test correction policy will be handed out on the first day of class. If you miss an exam, it needs to be made up within 2 days of returning to class. Reading Quizzes: Quizzes will be given periodically over the reading material. I suggest you read and comprehend the reading assignments each night. Projects/Other assignments: Assignments will be given throughout the year. This will include an assignment after the AP exam which will be worth a significant amount of points. A reading guide will be due on the day of the unit test. Reading assignments will be distributed almost daily. You are expected to read the entire chapter before the chapter test. I will divide these up into nightly assignments for you. ABSOLUTELY NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!! Please keep up with reading assignments, reading guides and test corrections. Test corrections can SAVE your grade. Remember… I am here to help you but you need to do your part. It is so important to keep up with the readings and the study guides for the class.
