AP Course Descriptions SY 2020-2021 Advanced Placement Course Descriptions _____________________________________________________________________________________ AP CAPSTONE PROGRAM AP SEMINAR (Grade 10) and AP RESEARCH (Grade 12) ​ ​ ​ ​ “AP Capstone™ is an innovative diploma program from the College Board that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. AP Capstone is built on the foundation of two AP courses — AP Seminar and AP Research — and is designed to complement and enhance the in-depth, discipline-specific study experienced in other AP courses. Students who enroll in AP Seminar are required to enroll in AP Research course senior ​ year. In AP Seminar, students investigate real-world issues from multiple perspectives, gathering and analyzing information from various sources in order to develop credible and valid evidence based arguments. In AP Research, students cultivate the skills and discipline necessary to conduct independent research in order to produce and defend a scholarly academic paper. Students are encouraged to enroll in AP Statistics before ​ enrolling in AP Research. AP Research, the second course in the AP Capstone experience, allows students to deeply explore an academic topic, problem, issue, or idea of individual interest. Students design, plan, and implement a yearlong investigation to address a research question. Through this inquiry, they further the skills they acquired in the AP Seminar course by learning research methodology, employing ethical research practices, and accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information. The course culminates in an academic paper and a presentation with an oral defense. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing will receive the AP Capstone Diploma. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams will receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate. Students who take this course must register and complete all requirements for ​ the AP Research exam. SY 20-21 Advanced Placement Course Descriptions 1 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT AP English Language and Composition: Grade 11 AP English Language and Composition is a course rooted in rhetoric, with an emphasis on writing, language awareness, close reading, and analysis of nonfiction prose. Course readings, writing, and activities are structured to help students gain textual power. Students regularly confer about their writing in class—both with their teacher and with their classmates. Students learn to read complex texts with ​ understanding, write prose with richness and complexity, and communicate effectively--preparing students for the demands of college. If you are willing to work hard, are curious about the world around you, enjoy debating ideas, and want to grow as a reader and writer--then AP English is for you! Students who complete this course are smart and savvy--they gain a sophisticated understanding of reading, speaking, and writing that proves to be a valuable skill in academia and beyond. As part of the Mass Insight Education (MIE) grant, students ​ must attend three mandatory AP English Saturday Sessions during the school year. Students enrolled in the course are expected to take the AP English Language and Composition exam. The class is highly ​ participatory, there is daily homework (reading, writing and/or preparation for long-term projects or writing assignments) and students are expected to engage in the writing and revision process with both their peers and teacher. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT AP English Literature and Composition: Grade 12 th AP English Literature and Composition is a 12 ​ grade course emphasizing interpretation through analysis ​ and the formulation of ideas in writing. This course aims to enhance students’ abilities to interpret, analyze, and appreciate the complexities of the canon, through close readings of great literature. Students will participate in in-depth analysis of novels, plays, short stories, and poetry by authors such as Shakespeare, Austin, Conrad, Shelley, Ibsen, and Morrison. The typical student of AP Literature and Composition will be an avid reader of literary texts and write with sophistication and control. All students of AP Literature and Composition are expected to attend three mandatory Mass Insight Education AP Saturday Sessions and take the AP Literature and Composition exam in May. The class is highly participatory, there is daily homework (reading, writing and/or preparation for long-term projects or writing assignments) and students are expected to engage in the writing and revision process with both their peers and teacher. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT AP Statistics: Grades 10, 11, and 12 AP Statistics is equivalent to a one semester, introductory, non-calculus-based, college course in statistics. An introductory statistics course, similar to the AP Statistics course, is typically required for majors such as social sciences, health sciences, and business. Students who successfully complete the course and exam may receive credit, advanced placement or both for a one-semester introductory college statistics course. The purpose of the AP course in statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: SY 20-21 Advanced Placement Course Descriptions 2 1. Exploring Data: Describing patterns and departures from patterns 2. Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and conducting a study 3. Anticipating Patterns: Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation 4. Statistical Inference: Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses Statistics is the most widely applicable branch of math and is used in more professions and in everyday life. You will never ask, “When will I ever use this stuff?” What would everything from your health records to study of global warming to sports be without statistics? Everyone who needs to collect and analyze data needs to understand statistics. That is every branch of science and the social sciences (like psychology, economics, anthropology, sociology, and political science), business, law, and medicine. And, of course, sports. Prerequisite: Grade 10 students must be enrolled in Advanced Algebra ​ ​ concurrently. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT AP CALCULUS AB: Grade 11 and 12 ​ ​ AP Calculus BC: Grade 12 Calculus is simply the study of how things change. We all know that if a person bikes at a constant speed of 15mph for 2 hours, then that person has traveled exactly 30 miles. But suppose that person cannot maintain a constant speed, and is biking at a continuously changing speed. Can you still calculate the distance biked? With calculus, you can! Calculus can be applied to anything that has a rate or is changing in the world. Can you think of anything else in life that is continuously changing? Calculus AB is designed to be taken over a full high school academic year. For students who pass the Calculus AB exam, most colleges will give 4 college credits and/or credit for Calculus I. This course is intended to be challenging and demanding. Calculus BC covers the same exact material as the Calculus AB course, but with many additional topics included. For this reason, the pace of the class is much faster. For students who pass the Calculus BC exam, many colleges will give 8 college credits and/or credit for Calculus I and Calculus II. Students must have completed Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Precalculus before enrolling in AP Calculus. For this reason, the course is limited to seniors. There is a summer Bridge to Calculus program that is mandatory for all students who did not achieve all A’s and B’s in Precalculus. There are also 3 mandatory Mass Insight AP Saturday sessions throughout the year that students must attend. AP Calculus is a word problem-solving course. Students who enjoy mathematics and/or are good at mathematics should take this Advanced Placement course. This is not a course to help you catch up on your Algebra or Trigonometry. Who should enroll: Juniors who are taking Precalculus with an A or a B in the class. ​ Exception: Juniors or Sophomores in Algebra 2 with strong recommendations from their teacher or ​ Juniors in Pre-Calculus with a C in the class must complete and do well in the Bridge to Calculus at Northeastern over the summer. Therefore only students who enjoy mathematics and/or are good at ​ ​ mathematics should take this Advanced Placement course. Expectations: Complete homework thoroughly everyday, and seek tutoring help for any forgotten ​ Algebra or Trigonometry techniques. The class moves quickly, and we will often move on from topics before the entire class fully understands the topic. Students must be willing to review previous topics if SY 20-21 Advanced Placement Course Descriptions 3 they do not fully understand a topic. AP Calculus is a word problem-solving course, but also features heavy Algebra and equation manipulation. Therefore, students should expect to show algebraic and calculus thinking (work) as well as be able to explain Calculus meaning in context using sentences. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AP Computer Science Principles (CS-Principles): Grades 10, 11, and 12 Computers are indispensable in our modern lives and play a role in a majority of innovations from medical advancements to ideas for new companies or new art products.

    AP Course Descriptions AP Biology AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes – energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions. Laboratory Requirement: This course requires that 25 percent of the instructional time will be spent in hands-on laboratory work, with an emphasis on inquiry-based investigations that provide students with opportunities to apply the science practices. Prerequisites: Students should have successfully completed high school courses in biology and chemistry. More information can be found on the AP Biology Course Overview Website. AP Calculus AB AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Students will learn how to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and how to make connections amongst these representations. Students will also learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. Recommended Prerequisites: All students should complete the equivalent of four years of secondary mathematics designed for college-bound students: courses which should prepare them with a strong foundation in reasoning with algebraic symbols and working with algebraic structures. Prospective calculus students should take courses in which they study algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions. More information can be found on the AP Calculus AB Course Overview website.

To attain a broad background, all students should complete at least three years of science including one course each in biology, chemistry, and physics. If these three core courses are completed by the end of junior year, students have maximized their opportunities to do well on standardized tests, such as SAT, and will be prepared for further study of science during their senior year. An important component of all science courses is laboratory work. Laboratory work gives students direct contact with the material studied in the course, develops lab skills, increases a student’s understanding of how science actu- ally works, and helps the student develop analysis, interpretation, and synthesizing skills. Science Sequences Th ere are many science sequences that students may select because of their interests and career plans. Th e sequences shown below are intended to provide a solid background in science and not restrict students in their choices.

  • Advanced Placement Courses
    West High School Advanced Placement Courses Advanced Placement American Government AP American Government is an intensive study of the American national government. The goals of this course are to increase understanding of the American political system, including its framework, traditions and values. The course is concerned with the nature of the American political system, its development over the past 200 plus years, and how it continues to function into its third century. The principal processes and institutions through which the political system functions, as well as some of the public policies which these institutions implement, are studied in detail. Advanced Placement Art History AP Art History is designed to provide the same benefits to secondary school students as those provided by an introductory college course in art history, namely an understanding and enjoyment of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within historical and cultural contexts. In the course, students examine major forms of artistic expression from the past and present and from a variety of cultures. They learn to look at works of art critically, with intelligence and sensitivity, and to articulate what they see or experience. Advanced Placement Art Studio AP Art Studio is a rigorous college-level program intended for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. Study areas and directions are mutually agreed upon. Students keep sketchbooks, write essays, and develop their ability to talk about their art. Students submit a digital portfolio to the College Board of Examination Committee.

  • In What Year of High School Should Students Take AP Biology? Depending on the Program Sequence, Most Students Enroll in AP Biology During Their Junior Or Senior Year
    In what year of high school should students take AP Biology? Depending on the program sequence, most students enroll in AP Biology during their junior or senior year. Since a first course in biology and a first course in chemistry are often prerequisites, this allows time for completion of those courses and also gives students time to gain math and laboratory skills. However, there are some schools that teach AP Biology at the sophomore level with no introductory biology course and highly motivated students have been very successful. The most important factor in student success seems to be maturity and motivation. Juniors often outperform seniors, especially as graduation time nears and "senioritis" sets in. -- Carolyn Schofield What course prerequisites should exist for students wishing to take AP Biology? Schools vary in their course prerequisites: Most consider Biology I to be a prerequisite, though some highly selective schools teach AP as the first and only course for their gifted sophomores. Completion of, or at least concurrent enrollment in, chemistry is an almost universal requirement. Many schools feel this ensures a certain level of maturity and helps students during difficult biochemistry sections. Some schools require that all three first-year science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics) be completed before a student may enroll in any AP science class. In doing so, their aim is to ensure basic competence before specialization. -- AP Program How much math does a student need before taking AP Biology? Math is a vital part of any science course, but trigonometry and calculus are definitely not mandatory. The following mathematical skills seem to be most helpful in the AP Biology course: algebra and geometry basics, rate and percent calculations, knowledge of scientific notation, basic probability that can be applied to statistical analysis, and knowledge of graphing (setup of axes and plotting of data).
