Course Description AP® Seminar is a foundational, interdisciplinary course that engages students in exploring the complexities of academic subjects and real-world issues through multiple perspectives. Throughout the program, students consider and evaluate multiple points of view to develop their own perspectives on complex issues and topics through inquiry and investigation. The course provides a framework that allows students to develop, practice, and hone their critical and creative thinking skills as they make connections between various issues and their own lives. Within an inquiry-based structure, students build skills in reading and interpreting articles, research papers, speeches, and foundational texts. Students learn to make connections across diverse sources, develop research-driven ideas in written work, and create and present arguments using oral and visual formats, both independently and collaboratively. They follow a structured framework to guide their work, including: Question and Explore, Understand and Analyze, Evaluate Multiple Perspectives, Synthesize Ideas, and Team, Transform, and Transmit. The course emphasizes critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and effective communication, preparing students to thoughtfully evaluate information and construct well-supported arguments. Students are required to meet virtually several times with their instructors throughout the course. Teachers will be available Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM EST for these meetings. Additionally, this course requires several projects that are integrated throughout the course. Students will be responsible for understanding the requirements and multiple deadlines of the projects. ALL work must be completed and presented to teachers before April 15th for score submissions to the College Board for the AP® Exam in early May.
