Not only are you likely to pick up some college credits for the course, you'll be a stronger student because of your understanding of human memory and learning (that you can apply to learning in all of your courses).</p><p>Still not sure?

However, according to virtually every retail establishment I’ve visited during the past two weeks, it’s time for back-to-school shopping. Whether that thought excites you or makes you cringe, I figured I’d give you a heads up about what you’ll need for AP Psych. That way, we can streamline your shopping trip (whenever it happens). </span></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-05c91b41-7fff-1b8d-1805-91b11d754283"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: none; clear: right; display: inline-block; float: right; height: 182px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 200px;"><img height="182" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ZCts0SmB-Yh553JYBbSc3kSz7GonmfqZc-0S6VOszu4eN_N9i9NyrKvua9t2fjAefNBZVby2DQOR2lqT_peuNHSVZ4fk3QqQURmNdY4tSdxqeKbyzAtyv-mvKthI4EzaJZrBkKo" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="200" /></span><span face="" style="font-family: merriweather, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Required</span><span face="" style="font-family: merriweather, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:</span></p><br /><ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><li dir="ltr" style="font-family: merriweather, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Be sure to pick up a </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3-ring binder</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for use throughout the year in AP Psych. You’ll need this to keep your notes and handouts organized by topic area. Look for one 1.5 to 2.5 inches in width (3 in is usually too unwieldy to carry in a backpack daily). By spring, when you’re reviewing for the AP Psych exam, you’ll be SO GLAD you kept all of your notes/handouts organized this way!</span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="font-family: merriweather, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You’ll also want </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">paper for note-taking</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> (loose-leaf or notebook, your choice). Student preference is the key here: some folks like to use loose-leaf paper so they can insert notes into the binder by topic area, others like keeping their notes all in one notebook (post-it tabs to mark chapters/units can be helpful if going that route). If you like notebooks, be aware that many students fill up their notebooks by spring in AP Psych, so having more than one on hand will help. Also, some students prefer to keep their book notes and class notes separate (not a bad idea), so you’ll want to think about your “system” when shopping.</span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="font-family: merriweather, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pens and pencils</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> are going to be necessary.

<br />
Please take the time to give me feedback that will help me make plans for next year. The responses that students generate for these surveys do help me figure out what is working and what can be improved in future iterations of this course.<br />
<br />
There are two DIFFERENT evaluations I'd like you to complete. The first concerns the course itself, while the other concerns my instructional approaches specifically. Please take the time to complete BOTH, and there is no rush. Mr. Isaacson will give you plenty of time to complete these.<br />
