Capstone AP Research Presentations
Capstone AP Research Presentations
AP Research, the second course in the AP Capstone experience, challenges students to design and execute a yearlong investigation into a topic of their choosing. Building on AP Seminar, students apply research methodology, ethical practices, and information synthesis to address an original research question. They document their process through a portfolio and culminate the course with a 4,000–5,000 word academic paper and a formal presentation with oral defense.
