This was followed by class activities.3 Another flippedclass adaptation has included adding an on-line discussion before class, which allowedinstructors to formatively assess student learning and to provide in-class review sessions beforethe other classroom activities. In this case, an online quiz was administered toward the end of theonline lecture, for which students earned participation points.4 In this study, the first author usedrecorded class lectures from a previous semester for course content and had students present theirindividual homework solutions in

The practice sessions take place in four different rooms during the semester dependingon what equipment is needed for the session. The students work in teams of three during thepractice sessions.

Next semester I expect to use it more often since I will be teaching Electronics I.  Lack of time allocated to this kind of exercise in the syllabus.  Time constraints prevented integrating the device more often. Preparing a class using a new device requires time for preparation. Limited multimeter functions also limited the use of the device.  The workshop was given after the courses were designed (mid-semester workshop).  Labview by National Instruments and Arduino fill most of the material for experiments but

Laboratory is to develop the students’ writing ability. Historically, this has beenaccomplished by requiring bi-weekly technical memos. The course syllabus described the memorequirement this way: Your memo will most often pertain to your lab experience and lecture experience, although homing in on a particularly interesting aspect of lab or radio design is also fair game. Occasionally there will be specific topics you are to write about. Your one-page typed memo (space and a half, 12 point times font) is due at the beginning of the Monday lecture session, and is to be placed in the folder appropriate for your lab section. The memo will be graded based on spelling, grammar and content.In 2012 Auburn
