The purpose of the AP World History course is to develop greater

understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts in

different types of human societies. This understanding is advanced

through a combination of selective factual knowledge and appropriate

analytical skills. The course highlights the nature of changes in global

frameworks and their causes and consequences, as well as

comparisons among major societies. It emphasizes relevant factual

knowledge, leading interpretive issues, and skills in analyzing types of

historical evidence. Periodization, explicitly discussed, forms an

organizing principle to address change and continuity throughout the

course. Specific themes provide further organization to the course,

along with consistent attention to contacts among societies that form

the core of world history as a field of study.

Principles of the Biomedical Sciences provides an introduction to this

field through ―hands-on‖ projects and problems. Student work

involves the study of human medicine, research processes and an

introduction to bioinformatics. Students investigate the human body

systems and various health conditions including heart disease,

diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and infectious diseases. A theme

through the course is to determine the factors that led to the death of a

fictional person. After determining the factors responsible for the death,

the students investigate lifestyle choices and medical treatments that

might have prolonged the person‘s life. Key biological concepts

included in the curriculum are: homeostasis, metabolism, inheritance of

traits, feedback systems, and defense against disease. The course is

designed to provide an overview of all courses in the Biomedical

Sciences program and to lay the scientific foundation necessary for

student success in the subsequent courses.
