Hypothesis Hotline UASLE Podcast

At UASLE, we're thrilled to offer students a unique platform to share their innovative ideas and rigorous academic work. In our AP Research course, students undertake a year-long inquiry project, building a literature review, identifying a research gap, designing an inquiry proposal, and then conducting research. When they finish their project, each student writes an academic paper of 4,000 - 5,000 words and presents their findings to an oral defense panel. Publishing is the logical next step. With this podcast, students are able to authentically share their findings with their families, our community, and beyond.

Do you think you have what it takes to earn the AP Capstone? We’d love to recruit you. Stop in to see us in September, and we will tell you more about AP Research and its prerequisite, AP Seminar. No action without research.
