New Year starts strong!

Second semester of A.P. psychology has started and started strong!  In addition to learning the A.P. curriculum, we're actively prepping for the A.P. exam in early May.

To help with this, some classroom changes have taken place.

  1. There are no longer essays on the exam or quarter projects
  2. Cold essays will be given in class periodically
  3. reading quizzes will feature deductions of wrong answers
  4. Unit exams will feature questions from earlier exams
  5. Unit exams will have a vocabulary section
  6. Quarter grades will be broken down in the following ways:
  • 40% unit exams
  • 25% reading quizzes
  • 20% note cards
  • 15% classroom assignments
Remember, this is all designed to help ensure FIVES in May!  Let the studying begin!
