Summer 2025
Dear Parent or Guardian of Rising AP Capstone Research Student:
In AP Research, students design and conduct their own research studies; write an academic paper equivalent to an undergraduate thesis; and present and defend their research. The Academic Paper of 4,000-5,000 words and the Individual Presentation and Oral Defense comprise the AP Research Exam. Most of the research and writing must be done outside of class.
Please see the attached summer assignment that is due on Canvas by Sunday, August 17, 2025, by 11:59 p.m. I will provide submission instructions to students on August 11, the first day of school. Please read and review the assignment and suggested work schedule with your student to facilitate completion. Complete and return the bottom portion of this letter to me by June 2, to acknowledge receipt. Students may drop off the receipt in my room in M4 or email it to me
If you have questions or need further information, please contact me at 754-323-1650 or via email at Gonzalo.laverde@browardschools.com
Sincerely,
Gonzalo Laverde M.Ed
