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.
