Let’s FLIP this class In class we’ll do homework/practice problems. Out of class, you will listen to lectures. WHY?

My Role Plan and execute the videos. Plan the reading, practice exercises. Plan the in class labs and activities. Help coach, guide and challenge you. Provide prompt feedback about your labs and in class work (probably a little slower than the next). Provide prompt feedback for programming assignments and exams.

Your role Prepare for class by finishing any labs and reviewing the video tutorials before class begins. Be an active participant in your team. If you don’t understand something, ask for help. If someone on your team doesn’t understand something, offer your help. Listen to one another and respect one another. Ask for clarification, assistance from the instructor where pertinent. See what other students are putting on the board and offer suggestions or question your own answers. Learn, don’t just memorize.

Group Formation Basic algorithm was to pair people that can meet at the same time outside of class. I tried to put freshmen together and upper classmen together. Pairs will stay together through at least the first midterm.
