Please note: The
following outline is intended as a rough guide to the order of
the course, associated topics, and assignments. It does
not include all assignments, quizzes or labs. Dates are
also subject to change depending on the abilities of the
students and external influences (tropical systems, district and
statewide testing etc.). I will update this page as
the course progresses. Notes will be available for each major
section (click on the appropriate link) and have proven very
useful to previous students - however, they are not a
requirement, just an additional resource. Notes are in PDF
format. Most computers have a PDF reader but if not, you
can download Adobe Reader for free by clicking on the link
below.
BEWARE ! THE AP CURRICULUM AND EXAM
CHANGED IN 2013-2014 THEREFORE CLASS NOTES,
ASSIGNMENTS AND LABS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS MAY BE CHANGED.
DO NOT USE PREVIOUS YEARS' NOTES FROM FORMER STUDENTS.
