USINFO | 2014-01-03 14:46
Many high schools offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These courses are equivalent to undergraduate courses in college and usually much more demanding than the typical high school class. For example, a book report in a typical class is often written in essay format and consists of the title, author, brief plot, summary and main points of the book. An AP book report is written as a list of answers and requires a deeper analysis from the student that includes major themes, symbolism, imagery and techniques used by the author.
