1 AP United States History Grades 11 Length: 36 Weeks COURSE DESCRIPTION: Many people view history merely as a set of dates and facts to be memorized, but history is much more than that. History is an organic and ever-changing discipline, periodically discovering new evidence and revising old commonly held beliefs. It s not enough to learn history itself; one must learn from history the true essence of the human experience. This course is designed for that purpose. The Advanced Placement course in United States History is designed to provide students with the analytical skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in U.S. history. Students will learn to assess historical materials, their relevance to a given interpretive problem, reliability, and importance and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historic scholarship.
