ADVANCED PLACEMENT U.S. GOVERNMENT & POLITICS (12th Grade (1 Credit)
AP American Government will cover the same material as state mandated frameworks with much more depth, breadth, and accelerated pace than the normal American Government course. Students will be guided through instructional strategies to critically use specific information in order to evaluate general propositions about government and politics. Students will analyze political relationships between people and institutions and between different institutions. Not only are students required to interpret and utilize basic data relevant to government and politics in sustained written argument, but they also will engage in independent study and work with document-based questions. Students will be required to take the College Board Advanced Placement Examination to receive weighted credit (Arkansas Act 102). College credit may be earned from qualifying scores on the AP examination, as well as from enrollment in concurrent credit courses.

The course uses the same book as the advanced placement course, but more emphasis is placed on the preparation for Calculus. The course will emphasize functions, graphs and modeling at the beginning for the student that might not be as strong in those concepts. The course will thoroughly cover limits, differentiation, integration and transcendental functions.
