About

We will cover all major topics in the AP Psychology class: neuroscience, cognition, developmental psychology, learning, social psychology, personality, clinical psychology, and health. We will go over the major concepts, key people, and important experiments, and we will spend the last week before the exams to share some exam tips and do Pomodoro study time. You will be expected to listen to your peers; even though we encourage you to share what you know with your peers, it's OK if you don't feel very comfortable speaking up yet!
