"Flipping a classroom" means the instructor uses class time for problem-solving, analysis, and discussion, after students have first learned basic concepts outside of class via reading or lecture videos.

  • Dr. Jose J. Vazquez Cognet (Clinical Professor, Department of Economics, and Coordinator of E-Learning, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is "currently running two studies on Flipping the Classroom; one field experiment using my large principles of economics course; and also a clinical study (randomized control trial study)." He is trying to replicate some of the findings from Physics courses.
