getpsyched: AP Psychology

Well it's that time of year again.  What will you do without AP Psych guiding your life? LOL!  To my seniors, Best Wishes and Good Luck in all that you may strive to do.  Remember the many lessons you learned in this class: 
- Procrastination is the enemy of success.
- As within, so without.
- You got to BE what you want to SEE. 
- Students don't fail in college because they lack intelligence but because they lack preparation... (and all those other Woods Quotes you tweeted during class... LOL!).  You will be greatly missed. 
To my juniors (that stepped up to the AP challenge..fist bump), See ya next year!  And no you can't come hang out in my room as seniors and reminiscence about all the wonderful things you learned in this class last year.  Ha! I'm kidding (or am I....).  I will always be available for your mini-therapy sessions in the hall and recommendation requests.  Have a great summer!

The final exam will be given on Monday (May 21).  Congratulations on your success in advance.  Below is a list of possible terms.  You may use your vocabulary flashcards on the exam.  Remember that the final exam counts for 15% of your grade.  Good Luck!
