that students are self-guided through partof the instruction. Lastly, class time is organized in such a way that the instructor spends overhalf of the time working directly with individuals and small groups. This gives the students anopportunity to have explanations individually catered to their level of understanding, as well asplenty of time for peer and instructor assistance with debugging.The course initially ran under the new model in Spring, 2013. The course ran for 15 weeks andhad 37 students split into two different sections. There were no teaching assistants. Feedbackfrom the students indicated that they benefitted greatly from the course design. Improvementsfor the second iteration of the new course model, which will occur in Spring

undergraduate teaching assistantships in the flipped classroom, anenvironment in which TAs take on a more important role than in a traditional classroom. Flippedlearning builds upon active learning, a constructivist approach to learning that emphasizeslearning by doing [18-20]. Active learning is based on the principles that students are activelyresponsible for their own learning within a collaborative process with peers and tutors [21].Flipped learning takes this further by moving the passive and individual-focused parts of STEMlearning – the first introduction to the material – out of the classroom entirely. This frees classtime to be devoted to interactive activities, such as problem-based learning, that reinforce coursematerial without sacrificing
