Important Information
Welcome to AP Gov/WTP. This program is rigorous and challenging, but keep in mind three things. One, don't quit. Quitting is easy, especially in this class. Effort is what defines you. You are AP students. Whether you like to admit it or not, you find certain vindication in that. This course will allow you the opportunity to prove yourself as scholars. Secondly, government is important. It's easy to complain about the state of our nation, the ineptitude of Congress, and the failings of politics as a whole. However, unless you do something about it, the problems you see today will not only continue, they will be exacerbated. This class is specifically geared towards helping students such as yourselves, develop the necessary knowledge and tools needed to effectively engage institutions. Most importantly, always remember that you are not alone. At times the work load in this class will feel overwhelming, but always remember you have your classmates to help you through the struggle whether its through studying together or through laughter to help ease the tension in difficult times. And you have also have this website. This is to be used as a resource to help advance your learning and get yourself prepared for all that is to come. Good luck and have a great year.
For Your viewing pleasure, we have attached two videos. The first is a crash course introduction into the course and the second is a outstanding example of a WTP hearing in action.
