ADVANCED PLACEMENT RESEARCH (Grade 11-12)
(2 credits - Full year course)                                       
(ENG1054, ENG1055) 

AP Research, the second course in the AP Capstone experience, enables students to thoroughly explore an academic topic, problem, issue, or idea of individual interest. Students design, plan, and implement a yearlong investigation to address a research question. Through this inquiry, they further the skills they acquired in the AP Seminar course by learning research methodology, employing ethical research practices, and accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information. Students reflect on their skill development, document their processes, and curate the artifacts of their scholarly work through a process and reflection portfolio. The course culminates in an academic paper and a presentation with an oral defense. This course is an elective and does not fulfill an English requirement. Prerequisite AP SEMINAR.
