AP Psych Expectations

My main expectation for this class is to gain an understanding on how the brain processes experiences and why we interpret things the way we do. I am interested in learning why we as humans remember and retain some information easier than other information. I am also interested in learning the differences between genders and how different experiences and feelings relate to each gender. My ultimate goal upon finishing the class is to score a three or higher on the AP exam. I expect this class to be more rigorous than some of my other classes. I know that it will be paced fairly quickly and that I will need to be able to retain information and take good notes.
