AP Psychology Summer Assignment Welcome to AP Psychology. I hope you have an enjoyable and safe summer, and that you are looking forward to beginning your study of psychology over the course of the next school year. It will be a challenge, but I hope that you will find it an interesting and rewarding experience. One of the joys and challenges of this class is that you will see yourself in our readings and discussions every day. You will be able to relate many of your own life experiences to the content of this course. This summer you will be getting a head start on not only the content of psychology, but also the structure of the class. The specific assignments are detailed in this packet. You should take your time with these assignments, as they will introduce you to the kind of work you should expect in class next year. Each assignment listed below should be completed before school begins. Be sure to bring this packet with your completed assignments with you on the first day of class. All of these assignments will be graded, and there will be a quiz the first week that will include content from your summer assignment.
