Flipping the Classroom
Rethinking the traditional teaching approach
Do you wish that your students would prepare for class? Would you like to feel that the time you spend teaching was more productive in helping student learn to think in the discipline? Then join this conversation about rethinking the traditional teaching approach. Typically our students get their first exposure to content through our lectures. When a class is flipped, students are held accountable for preparing for class in advance (through watching video or reading or doing problems), and class time is spent in students processing ideas and getting feedback from us and their peers. Four faculty will share their experiences with this approach. Lunch will be provided. Panelists include:
Sarah Leupen, Biological Sciences
Eileen O’Brien, Psychology
Timothy Phin, Ancient Studies
Anne Spence, Mechanical Engineering
