Description
Implementation of flipped pedagogies in college courses is an increasing trend across various disciplines nationwide. Within a “flipped course”, students spend time on their own before class watching video recordings on material traditionally covered live during lecture. Class time is then spent reinforcing and delving more deeply into the material through problem sets, open discussions, and other activities. During the 2016 CARS May Celebration XX, my initial attempts at implementing a flipped classroom in Cell Biology were described, along with its successes and failures. The lessons learned from those experiences informed modifications that I made in subsequent semesters, which have improved student performance, participation, and attitude in the class. During this presentation, I will discuss this updated approach to flipping the Cell Biology classroom and provide examples of how it enables students to think more deeply and critically about content.
