2. Why Flipped Fridays?
Chem 4B is a course for freshmen chemistry majors with a heavy analytical chemistry focus and a research project
Specifically I wanted to improve student understanding and performance
Exams
Labs
Students’ research projects
Provide students a model of effective peer work
Build community in the classroom

3. How was it done? Before Class In Class and Beyond My preparation
When I really noticed the patch of grey hair in the back of my head
When I snuck up on some students
One of many times I was waving my arms
Online lecture
Before Class
My preparation
Complete backwards design assignment to set goals for the session
Write new (or tailor old) exam level questions
Generate key, send to GSIs for comment
Before class
I recorded a short video lecture and post on YouTube
Students watch the short video lecture
Students take a short quiz on bcourses
In Class and Beyond
During class
Students are seated by lab section
Work in small groups on problems
GSIs, faculty mingle
Answers for select problems are presented
Students correct work and reflect on learning
After class
Worksheets are scanned and graded in Gradescope (completed/corrected work and reflection statements)
