On average thesurvey response rate was 42% in F15 and 75% in F16. In both years, students listed thefollowing as the most helpful factors for their learning in the flipped classroom model:  In-class problem solving: covering the material before class allowed them to better participate in the in class problem solving sessions.  Learn at own pace: Having the video resources online allowed some students to learn the material at their own pace.  Students were happy that they had the ability to rewatch the videos whenever they

In addition, the classroom was observed using theCOPUS observation protocol to describe it and determine the level of activity and interaction.The instructor’s main takeaway from his first use of these techniques is that they lead to largegains with little-to-no extra time or preparation. Although he had previously not used them dueto a perceived lack of time, his advice to new faculty is to try these techniques in their courses.Additional instructor insights and reflections will also be discussed.1.
