Description: This course is intended to prepare students to take the College Board AP Psychology exam, the successful completion of which may grant, depending on their score and post-secondary institution, a number of first year psychology credits.  It will introduce students, in a fair degree of depth, to various concepts throughout the discipline of Psychology, allowing them to better understand the behaviour and mental functioning of human beings.  Students will be expected to not only know and understand various concepts and theories associated with this area of discourse, but be able to apply their knowledge to case studies, the media, and their own education and life.  Through increasing our knowledge of the workings of the human brain, we not only appreciate more the intricacy of God’s creation, but understand how he has constructed us to respond to it and to respond to each other, furthering our ability to engage with His creation and other individuals within it in the way that He intended.
