Why we are here in AP Psychology?
To learn about the study of the human mind and human behavior. Hopefully through working at this course students will understand themselves better socially, biologically, mentally, and understand why we do the things we do as humans, even when those choices are not the best. In the process of learning the definitions of key terms and processes, students will work to apply those through the various applications of psychological approaches.
What I expect:
Very hard work and daily improvement.
Our Goal:
Learn more about ourselves and others & Pass the AP Exam
