Dear Future AP Psych students,
AP Psych can be a pretty difficult class, with lots of terms and ideas you need to learn in so little time. My advice would be to make mind maps because they help keep everything you know and learned on one sheet of paper, so you don't have to look through different notes and worksheets. Mind maps also are really good reviews for the quizzes because you can see what you know and what you don't know. I liked the brain lab we did at the beginning of the semester, where we got to "build a brain" with an orange and a bunch of candy. It helped me learn where everything was in the brain, which helped me understand the brain a lot more.

For Ms. Halfen, I think you could leave out the bookwork when you read the book and answer questions about what is being read. Students are more focused on finishing the assignment than fully understanding what they are reading, and since we don't get the worksheets back, we don't know what we put for the answers. When we do Nearpods, I think it would be helpful to have a set of guided notes to follow along with. Sometimes it is hard to follow along with what is being said about the unit while we take our own notes. You could also go over the quizzes because it would've been beneficial to know what I missed on a quiz so that I could improve my understanding of the unit.
