1. Don't re-read the chapter unless you never read it; go back to your notes unless they are total crap. 2. If your notes are total crap, phone a friend or go to wikinotes (no I'm not linking, they only have about 70% of the content, but if you are in a bind, there they are. 3. Best option for people who know something, talk the chapter over with a friend. Pick a friend who thinks differently from you, who makes different mistakes, and review together. Do not do this with an XBox. Turn of the TV, netflix, and do not chill. Get a little stressed. You will be stressed taking any exam, so study a little stressed. Of course don't study with your friend in bed. (tried to insert emoji, didn't work). Make sure you have friends who are smarter than you. #squadgoals Worst case scenario use a parent. Even worse, sibling or librarian. This is moving it up Blooms Taxonomy. #lifegoals  4. Spaced rehearsal. Testing effect. Cumulative assessment. You have all of your old tests (you're welcome!) use them! The midyear is going to be very similar to all of the other chapter exams. You are ready!
 * So you are wondering...how to study for this midyear ** that asks you to know and apply vocab? Well, there is always quizlet for each chapter, which you can find below, but that is just, "do you know the baseline vocab?" and sometimes people kid themselves. Can you apply the concepts, do you recognize terms outside of flashcards, do you look at memes or events in the news and think of psych? Yes, that is next level and means you are getting it and internalizing/comprehending at the deepest levels. This is why the pinterest boards are where A students spend their time.


 * Week of 1/3/2017 **
 * Tuesday: ** All test corrections/reflections due. This way you see your weaknesses; I suggest beginning to make flashcards for all of the vocab you don't know chapter by chapter for your final review project now if that is what you choose to do for that. Including

 * Thursday: ** notes.
 * Friday: ** have most of chapter read by today for the quiz!

No project this year for over break (last year's was to read a book); all of the above was to be done as you went along, your mistake if you didn't. Thank you for staying organized and following the program! Even if you aren't following the program and can't believe the AP test will ever really come because of your not yet fully developed frontal lobe, know that your midyear is coming in a little over three weeks and is cumulative 100 MC questions. Good luck!

Make sure you have full corrections/reflections done for all 8 chapters (6 tests) you will have back at this point. Go through and staple sheet to tests and have ready for day after break ends. You are now halfway done. Come back to school with your 3 ring binder in good organized order by chapter/unit. Know what vocab terms by test you know and don't know, or understand that you will be doing this later on before the AP test.

Also be sure to include some other facts about the psychologist, (remember you’re on a date so you need to be ready to share some interesting anecdotes about yourself to charm your suitor).

HW: begin reading ch1 (module) history and approaches. pinterest quizlet vocab reading guide (this is available for you to help you, it is very comprehensive, possibly overly so, but some people take too many notes, some too few... LMK if this is helpful or not. Ch2 [|reading guide] Your first test (CHs 1 and 2) will be on 9/23. All test dates are listed on the TED list tab to the right. You should have read chapter (unit) 1 on history and approaches by next TH class when we will be speed dating. Just letting you know so you can pace yourself. CH 2 on research methodology is due the following week. Usually the pacing won't be on you at all because usually it will only be one chapter. Oddly the book divides up how to do the research and the people who did the research... there will be a quiz so you don't get too complacent.

Here is the program, about every two weeks we cover a unit, this is usually one chapter, but could be two, in which case there is more time. Your responsibility is to read the chapter on your own time and take notes. You are also expected to actively participate in class lecture/discussions, complete a project per unit and peruse the supplemental resources. Follow the plan and you will be successful in learning and on the AP test. Note: ** you will need a 3 ring binder of 2" or larger for this full year course **, I have a bunch if you want one or if you want a special Transformers one, treat yourself. You may not use a spiral, all work needs to stay organized by chapter and that doesn't work in a spiral, sorry. All notes will be handwritten WSJ , NPR because your essays on the AP test will be handwritten -unless you have an ed plan specifying otherwise.

Please read the Syllabus, Course Expectations , and of course Summer Work

The summer work shouldn't take you very long, if you are serious about this level of work the book should be a breeze to read. If it is a real struggle and you cannot bear to read it, find another class ASAP (having issues with the author is a different thing altogether).

We will have a wonderful year of learning many things. Thanks for joining, Dr. Gould
