In the AP Research course, students further their skills acquired in the AP Seminar course by understanding research methodology? employing ethical research practices? and accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information as they address a research question. Students explore their skill development, document their processes, and curate the artifacts of the development of their scholarly work in a portfolio. The course culminates in an academic paper of approximately 4,000- 5,000 words (accompanied by a performance or exhibition of product where applicable) and a presentation with an oral defense.
