Dear Student, Welcome to the AP Psychology course! This course will challenge you in new ways as a reader, a writer, and a thinker. This summer you will need to prepare yourself for these challenges. The purpose of the Advanced Placement Psychology is to introduce you to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental process of human beings. You will be exposed to the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major subfields within psychology. You will learn about the ethics and methods psychologists use in their science and practice. You will change the way you view yourself and the behavior of others. To prepare yourself for this, you will need to dedicate yourself to learning the concepts within these charts as brief introductions to each of the major topics.
