AP US HISTORY
Class Introduction:
Welcome to Advanced Placement United States History (APUSH). This course is designed to provide you, the student, with the analytical skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and issues in United States History. The course prepares you for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon you equivalent to those of full year introductory college courses. Students will learn to assess historical materials - their relevance to a given interpretive problem, their reliability, and their importance - and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. Students will also be prepared to take the AP United States History examination offered by the College Board and earn college credit or placement at the college or university of their choice.
