In order to assist your study of psychology, I have listed all upcoming assignments and exams.  
Please be advised that the schedule is subject to change, so be sure to check the board in class for any updates.
The best way to boost your learning is to distribute your study time, over-learn the key concepts, and actively read the text.  
Please remember, I do not accept late work.   There are NO excuses in AP Psych! 
This is a college level course and I will treat you as a college level student, therefore it is imperative you are responsible about your time.   

Attendance and Tardies:
It will be imperative to have good attendance and promptness to class this quarter. Keep in mind that over a three-week period, I will have to monitor nearly one thousand quizzes.  I am willing to make this review period very worthwhile so all of you have a good chance of passing the AP Exam, but I NEED your full cooperation and best efforts during this time period. Therefore, there will be 
NO make-up quizzes.  If you wish to take any make-up for quizzes missed, they will be held on Monday, May 18, 2009 and consist of 5 free response questions per quiz missed.

Review Quizzes:

We will take twelve review quizzes during the quarter.  Each of these will be preceded with an in-depth review of the material.  You will take all of these with a partner and will be allowed to discuss your answers with him or her.  This dialogue should be helpful since you will be in effect teaching each other.  One review quiz will be a collaboration with your partner of prior AP exam free response questions and the other eleven will be objective tests over the following units:

·      Quiz 1 – Neurobiology (Chapter 2) on April 13

·      Quiz 2 – Developmental Psychology (Chapters 3 and 4) on April 14

·      Quiz 3 – Sensation and Perception (Chapters 5 and 6)  on April 15

·      Quiz 4 – States of Consciousness and History of Psychology (Chapters 7 and Pro) on April 16

·      Quiz 5 – Learning and Memory (Chapters 8 and 9) on April 20

·      Quiz 6 – Cognition Chapters (Chapters 10 and 11) on April 21

·      Quiz 7 – Motivation and Emotion (Chapters 12 and 13) on April 22

·      Quiz 8 – Stress and Personality (Chapters 14 and 15) on April 27

·      Quiz 9 – Mental Disorders and Treatment/Therapies (Chapters 16 and 17) on April 28

·      Quiz 10 – Social Psychology (Chapter 18)  on April 29

·      Quiz 11 – Methods of Research in Psychology (Chapter 1) on  April 30

·      **Quiz 12 – Two Prior AP Exam Free Response Questions on April 23

 AP Practice Exams: 

We will take up to four practice AP Exams in class this quarter.  Your results will count as a standard test score.  These practice tests should serve as a fairly good barometer of how prepared you are to take the exam this year.  

Test 1 on April 1

Test 2 on April 17

Test 3 on April 24

Test 4 on May 1
