This course is specifically designed to assist students preparing to take the Advanced Placement World History exam in May. Although the course scope and content are based on the recommendations by the College Board, this is not an officially recognized AP class. Students focus on writing the three types of rubric scored essays that are required on the AP exam, along with obtaining the general content of material that is assessed through multiple choice questions. As per CB guidelines, half of the course focuses on Asia and Africa with an overall emphasis on the most recent 1000 years of history. World religions, events, and persons are presented in a biblical perspective as major trends over time and significant turning points are compared within and between cultures.   This advanced course is for students who are ready to deal with source documents and ideologies such as may be encountered in a class for college freshmen.  Even though most of the course material is on line, a study guide is required for AP World History. Although students may apply up to the normal TPS registration cut-off date, the readings for this course begin in August in order to adequately prepare students by the May examination date.
