 Welcome to AP Psychology. The purpose of AP Psychology is to introduce students to the study of mental processes of humans and animal behavior. Students will receive an overview of current psychological research methods and theories. The course information will be presented through lectures, class participation activities, demonstrations, and audiovisual aids. Students will use textbooks and other resources such as the internet, popular media, newspapers, and professional psychological publications in order to conduct research throughout the year. I look forward to seeing you in class.
