Welcome to AP Psych! First Home Learning Assignment...

It was great to meet you all today! I look forward to a great year with you. Please check out the updated syllabus in the links to the right and bring your first set of index cards to class so that we can get started together! Here's your first home learning assignment, which is related to Unit 1. 

This is a simple, three-part assignment. You will print a worksheet, do a tutorial, then take a quiz. Follow these instructions IN ORDER!

1. PRINT OR COPY BY HAND: Psychology's Timeline worksheet
