Course Description: The purpose of the Advanced
Placement Psychology course is to introduce students

facts, principles and phenomena associated with each
of the major subfields within psychology. They will also
learn about the methods psychologists use in their

development, states of consciousness, memory,
sensation and perception, intelligence, motivation and
