			American Government Advanced Placement and Level 2 This course is intended to be the equivalent of the one-semester college introductory course in United States government and politics. It is important to keep in mind the introductory nature of the course. Here are the six units to be covered in the course, with the weighting that each is given on the multiple-choice section of the AP Exam: * Constitutional Underpinnings: 5-15% * Political Beliefs and Behaviors: 10-20% * Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Mass Media: 10-20% * Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Bureaucracy, Courts: 35-45% * Public Policy: 5-15% * Civil Rights and Civil Liberties: 5-15% For the 2008-09 school year, the American Politics class will be combined with the AP Comparative Government course, for a year long study in government. AP World History The class is about multiple perspectives and historical analysis, not about memorized facts, dates, places, and events. Students will piece together global patterns over space and time, compare movements, and assess universal standards. If students can think historically, construct an historical argument, and analyze data within an historical viewpoint, they will be most of the way there.
