I'm confident that you can wrap up this section of Social Psych on your own. I've included links for the Crash Courses for this topic as well as some other interesting videos about key experiments. I encourage you to view them when you get a chance. If you have any questions, email me and I'll get back to you ASAP.
    1. Confusing Pairs and Important Studies - these are two sets of review materials created by another AP Psych teacher; I would recommend folding them in half to use them like flashcards; these are excellent resources for your studying
    2. Finish Social Psych Class Notes - the complete PPT is posted below
    3. Group Work: Social Psych Key Terms and Examples Chart - you already have this paper; work with your group to come up with examples relevant to your own lives; anything you don't finish is homework
    Notebooks will be graded at the beginning of class on Monday. We will be grading pages 28-38 of the Abnormal Behavior unit as well as all of Social Psych. Please make sure you have everything complete for this last notebook check. I will NOT accept anything late.
     
    You now have access to the practice tests to help you get ready for your final next week as well as the AP Exam.
     
    I will be posting the 2nd semester review on this site either today or tomorrow. Sorry for the delay! I'll have paper copies of it for you on Monday at which time we will wrap up social psych and do some review activities for the test (food will be involved!)
