Resume/LinkedIn Description

AP Seminar and AP Research are two innovative new courses that are at the heart of College Board’s Capstone diploma program. To receive the Capstone diploma, students must receive a three or higher in both AP Seminar and AP Research , and receive a three or higher on four other AP exams. The Capstone program teaches the broad set of skills required to write publishable, academic research papers. The following inventories the specific skills that I developed through Capstone .

· Perform aligned research of peer-reviewed academic literature.

· Design research methods that align with past research.

· Collect data relevant to an aligned research topic.

· Curate quantitative and qualitative findings and analyze results.

· Report key findings, conclusions and recommendations for future research.

· Received a top score of “5 “in AP Seminar , a score attained by only 6% of all course participants.) (Received a score of “4 “in AP Seminar , ranking in the top quarter of Capstone students worldwide.)

Get a recommendation statement (NOT A LETTER) from your Seminar teacher.

Everyone in your GBF class endorse you for Research Skills.

FALL FINAL MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS - Students must bring the following items to class on Wednesday, the day of final. Deductions will be made for missing items. Thank you.

AP Research year 4 - 2020-2021

Emily LaTourrette, Ernesto Diaz, & Christy Stocker

AP Research Syllabus: File containing the current version of our syllabus

AP Research Intro VIDEO

AP Research is open to students who have successfully completed AP Seminar in their Junior year. What makes this course interesting? During the year, you will be exposed to a myriad of research methods used in different fields and adapt those that will benefit your own research project. In the course you will design, plan, and conduct a year-long, research-based investigation to address a research question of interest to you. It provides the opportunity to learn and apply research methods and practices in a field that addresses a real-world topic of your choosing. While working with an expert advisor, you can explore an academic topic, problem, or issue that interests you and design, plan, and conduct a year-long research-based investigation to address it. The class is designed to be broken in three major parts. The first section is centered in choosing the topic and specific research project. In the second section you engage in the different activities associated with answering the question chosen as your research project and work towards the presentation of your investigation, results and conclusions from your research. In the last section the course culminates not in an Exam, but rather in the delivery of an academic paper of 4,000-5,000 words and a presentation, with an oral defense, during which you will answer 3-4 questions from a panel of evaluators
