到達目標


This is a certified AP course, and it follows the AP biology curriculum prescribed by College Board.

To join this course, students must have already completed an introductory biology course (or receive teacher permission). If students complete the course and pass the AP exam (receive a grade of 3, 4, or 5 out of 5), students may be eligible for college credit if they enter a university in the United States.

授業の進め方・学習方法


The class consists of theoretical, practical and laboratory work, done at the level of a university introductory course in biology. Those who complete this class will achieve a deeper understanding of biology, gain new experience in the lab, and have the opportunity to design and complete their own experiments. Students will be expected to do much of their study outside of class, and use the time in class to ask questions and learn new topics. There will be limited time for review in class, as it is fast-paced.

The syllabus below is designed based off of the AP Biology Course and Exam Description booklet (linked at the bottom of this page).

担当者からのアドバイス


-Listen carefully in class.
-Complete your homework.
-If you don't understand something, come for help after school or during lunch.
-Constantly review the class content. Do not only review before a test. Do not cram!
-Read your textbook or watch Khan Academy videos if you need more exposure to class content.
-Submit your homework and lab notebooks on time for full credit.
-Write neatly in your lab notebooks and on quizzes/ tests.
