Flipping the classroom, or having students watch video lectures before coming to class and spending time in class working on homework problems, has become a popular technique within higher education. This paper compares students’ performance in a flipped classroom to a more traditional classroom. Among three sections of the flipped classroom, the average final grade of students in the flipped classroom was 6.29, 9.01, and 10.49 percentage points higher than students in the traditional classroom.
