A cozy place where during most of a three hour lecture period the instructor mingles casually with students discussing the beautiful and big ideas of her discipline, while the students intensely collaborate and innovate. And where sophisticated (and correct) subject-matter language, punctuated with phrases such as \u0027how do you know that?\u0027 or \u0027what\u2019s your evidence for that?\u0027 or \u0027what if we tried it this way?\u0027 are coming from students\u2019 mouths, not from instructors or teaching assistants.\u0022 (September 20, 2012)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchell is not referring to an imaginary class-- but to an introductory and mixed-major, calculus-based physics course taught at Harvard by Professor Eric Mazur and preceptor Carolann Koleci.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you dream of such a place \u2013 one in which your students take greater ownership of their learning, come to class better prepared, pay close attention during lectures, think more deeply about course content, and demonstrate better mastery of course material by the end of the term -- then you too may want to consider how to flip your classroom.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn a flipped class, the idea is to deliver the course material to students outside the classroom, while in-class you guide and provide feedback to your students as they work with the material to deepen their understanding and uncover misconceptions.\u0026nbsp; Most commonly, content is delivered before class meetings online via videos or slides with voiceovers, but also through low-tech means such as reading assignments with reflection prompts.
