The samecontent was covered in all three sections. In addition, there were three exams during thesemester, with each instructor creating his/her own exam. Two exam questions that wereidentical across the flipped versus non-flipped sections were statistically compared fordifferences in student performance. The assessment analyst for the project conducted a semi-structured interview with the instructors after the course to discuss learning gains and studentpreferences with the flipped classroom.To further assess our

Interviews began by asking students somegeneral questions about their study and then asked them to elaborate on one or two incidents inthe journal. During the discussion, participants were explicitly asked who they went to whenthey needed help and whether or not they felt comfortable asking professors and peers for helpwith academic work. Participants were then shown some

Itis appreciated that in the US other definitions of integration and interdisciplinarity are usedand a substantial discussion of these will be found in Heywood (2005)14 (see also Fogarty,199315). However, there are two points that need to be made.First, the idea of inter-disciplinary study in the British Isles is mostly associated with coursesin which students study two subjects throughout the period of study to the major (honours)level. With rare exceptions it seems that academics do not

Students come to class, take notes as fast as theycan, ask a few questions along the way, and then go home and work a few problems, some ofwhich involve deriving or proving some result from the lecture.
