AP Psychology Summer Project

2016

Congratulations! You have been chosen by your instructors to compete against the smartest kids across the United States. You have all accepted this challenge and we promise to take your commitment very seriously. As the year progresses we will be asking you for feedback on how to adjust the course so that we can maximize your learning. This summer you will be reading the first several chapters in an online psychology textbook, taking notes, and working with a research article.

Part I: Reading and taking notes

Go to the following website for the PDF of the textbook.

Fmtigers.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Myers-D.-G.2010.-Psychology-9th-edition2.pdf

We expect you to take careful notes on the prologue, chapter 1, and chapter 2. (pdf internal pages 34-115) A good guideline to use would be if you had an open book quiz or essay on any section would you score above a ninety with the use of your notes. During the first month of school you will be taking quizzes and unit exams on the information included in these three chapters. These notes should be typed and double spaced.

Part II: Read a research article and write an abstract

Read the attached file: “Obey at any Cost.” Then compose and type a brief abstract of the research presented. Summarize the article in three paragraphs. What is the hypothesis? How did they conduct the study? What were the results? Do not worry about a thesis or introduction, get to the point. This should be a page maximum, 12 point font, double spaced.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to e-mail us. We check our e-mail regularly. If you are not sure about what we expect on the outline feel free to e-mail us your first couple of pages of notes and we will give you comments. If you e-mail your completed project before July 31, we will give you feedback and a chance to fix any mistakes in your essay or notes without a penalty.

Disclaimer: Check your school schedule to be sure you are enrolled in the course. You will have either Mr. Maranville or Ms. Swam depending on your schedule. In addition, there will be a copy of this assignment on the school website.
