Flipping the Classroom



           In the "flipped classroom", one of the coolest advantages is that the instructor can modify a class lesson just before the class. The teacher is able to do this because they are using assessments to gauge what students are grasping. After getting the results from said assessments, an intsructor can adjust the class lecture to cover material that students might not have completely understood. This is some really important feedback, and one could deduce that a teacher who uses a flipped classroom technique is more concerned with what their students are actually absorbing than a teacher that lectures and says "you either get it, or you don't". For me, I am intrigued with this teaching technique and I'm thankful that my English professor is using this teaching model.

  2. Great point....this technique does seem to lead more to a concern with actual knowledge learned rather than amount of knowledge covered. I, too, am enjoying our class!

  3. That's a good point I never thought about how the teacher can modify the lesson before the class starts.
