The term "flipped classroom" has come into academic discourse to describe classrooms in which professors, instead of lecturing, expect their students to listen to lectures online before class, and to spend class time discussing assigned texts or working on course-related problems. A more conventional "flipped classroom" could be just to expect students to have read the material before class and to spend the class in discussion or on problems. Three practitioners of the "flipped classroom" approach, Jack Eichler (Department of Chemistry), Perry Link (Department of Comparative Literature), and Jacqueline Shea Murphy (Department of Dance) will discuss how they teach and what benefits the "flipped classroom" can bring for students and faculty.
Please join us on Wednesday, May 15 at 10 a.m. in 367 HUB for this Scholarship of Teaching and Learning colloquium.
