Kumar and Mittal2 claimed that the agricultural productivity attained by Indiaduring the 1980s was not sustained and suggested using technologies for changing the trend.Therefore, India has been focusing on improving agricultural education

rather than passively absorbing lecturematerial during class time [1]. Because lecture material is generally watched individually,outside of class, students are able to self-pace their learning. A flipped class approach wasadopted in an introductory computer aided design and drafting course. The course is required foragricultural engineering and agricultural engineering technology majors and is a popular electivetaken by physics majors. The current flipped format has been in place for six years. Fifteenhomework assignments, due on average every week, comprise 45% of the grade. Thus, eachhomework assignment is worth about 5% of the final grade and no late assignments are acceptedwithout prior approval. For a variety of reasons, including
