Psychology helps explain reasons for human behavior.
In addition to an excellent textbook we use outside readings, speakers, see films, do experiments, and role play. Psychology is of general interest to all and is especially recommended for students planning careers in teaching and counseling, health and helping professions, business, and government. It is open to juniors and seniors. AP Psychology will follow the scope and sequence of a typical college-level introductory psychology course. This course will focus on the biological bases for human behavior, and will address such topics as sensation, perception, memory, principles of learning and motivation.
