Course Description
“The purpose of the AP World History course is to develop greater
understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts, in interaction
with different types of human societies. This understanding is advanced
through a combination of selective factual knowledge and appropriate
analytical skills. The course highlights the nature of changes in international
frameworks and their causes and consequences, as well as comparisons
among major societies. The course emphasizes relevant factual knowledge
deployed in conjunction with leading interpretive issues and types of historical
evidence. The course builds on an understanding of cultural, institutional, and
technological precedents that, along with geography, set the human stage.
Periodization, explicitly discussed, forms an organizing principle for dealing
with change and continuity throughout the course. Specific themes provide
further organization to the course, along with the consistent attention to
contacts among societies that form the core of world history as a field of
study.” (From the AP World History College Board course Description)
Advanced Placement World History is designed to prepare students for
intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands similar to
those of full year college survey courses. In AP World History, students will
develop a greater understanding of the evolution of global processes and
contact including interactions over time. The course highlights the nature of
changes in the international frameworks and their causes and consequences,
as well as comparisons among major societies. This course requires a great
deal of reading and writing throughout the year and the demands on students
are equivalent to a full-year introductory college course. For example,
students can count on having to read 60 pages and completing homework
from 5 to 7 hours each week (Remember, this is only a baseline and is greatly
dependent on the individual student). Daily activities focus on the mastery of a
selective body of factual knowledge and the development of analytical skills
required for success on AP World History examination. Critical writing and
thinking skills are developed through, but not limited to the evaluation of
primary and secondary sources, oral presentations, short essays, and
research assignments.
