Taking a psychology course is so much fun, but there is so much to learn! I spent a lot of extra time during the school year studying and studying because I felt like there was always something I didn't understand or didn't remember. Because I have a huge passion for psychology, I really want to help people who take this course succeed! I'll be using the College Board curriculum, Myers' Psychology For The AP® Course, and resources my teacher provided me with. Here is what we will be learning: Unit 0**: Introduction to Psychology Examine the different psychological perspectives, research methods, and the history of psychology. Unit 1: Biological Bases of Behavior Study behaviors and mental processes from a biological perspective and explore the effects of the interaction between human biology and our environment.   Unit 2: Cognition Examine the complex nature of how memory, intelligence, and other mental processes impact human behavior.   Unit 3: Development and Learning  Study how physical and social changes over humans’ lifespans can influence behavior and mental processes from a variety of perspectives and how learning works.  Unit 4: Social Psychology and Personality Study how the social experience influences behavior of individuals and groups and how personality is studied and develops.   Unit 5: Mental and Physical Health Learn how psychologists promote mental and physical health and evaluate, study, and treat a range of psychological disorders.  **While Unit 0 isn't officially on the AP exam, it is crucial to know everything from it, because it applies to the other units! There is a lot of statistics on it, but it's relatively simple. My teacher taught it to us, and it was very worthwhile! I will also go over anything complicated that I struggled with or that you guys need assistance with! I'll also do reviews when test day gets close :) I'm so excited to meet and get to know you!
