The AP ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Additionally, they read and analyze rhetorical elements and their effects in nonfiction texts–including images as forms of text–from a range of disciplines and historical periods. This is a small group class that provides instruction in the following areas:
Rhetorical Situation: Individuals write within a particular situation and make strategic writing choices based on that situation.
Claims and Evidence: Writers make claims about subjects, rely on evidence that supports the reasoning that justifies the claim, and often acknowledge or respond to other, possibly opposing, arguments.
Reasoning and Organization: Writers guide understanding of a text's lines of reasoning and claims through that text's organization and integration of evidence.
Style: The rhetorical situation informs the strategic stylistic choices that writers make.
Some book purchases will be necessary. Students can expect homework and weekly quizzes. Grades will be given.

The BARUN ACADEMIC CENTER AP CHEMISTRY course is designed to prepare students for the equivalent of a college introductory chemistry course usually taken by chemistry majors during their first college year. This course meets the objectives of a general chemistry course, where students attain a depth of understanding of fundamentals and a reasonable competence in dealing with chemical problems. The course contributes to the development of the students' abilities to think clearly and to express their ideas, orally and in writing, with clarity and logic. Course content broadly covers:
Structure of matter: including atomic theory and structure; chemical bonding; nuclear chemistry
States of matter: including laws of gases; kinetic molecular theory; liquids and solids phase diagrams; solubility
Reactions: including reaction types; stoichiometry; concept of dynamic equilibrium; kinetics; thermodynamics
Descriptive chemistry: including chemical reactivity; periodic table relationships; introduction to organic chemistry
Students can expect homework, quizzes, a mid-term and a final. Grades will be given.
