2018 TOHS AP Research Projects
Here you will find the
project files for each AP Research student in the Thousand Oaks High School
Center for Research and Advanced Studies during the 2017-2018 school year. The papers were submitted to the College
Board, where they were scored and represent 75% of the student’s AP score for
the course. The Presentation slide decks
were used by the students in their required formal defense of their project,
which made up the remaining 25% of their AP score. The academic posters were used by the
students to present their research to the greater community at the Center’s
Festival of Scholars on May 16, 2018.
