Students watch a video of the lecture for the day before coming to class. During class the students typically work in groups on problem solving. The instructor circulates through the classroom to engage and assist the groups. Lage, Platt and Treglia, J. Economics Educ. 32, 30 (2000).

Students purchase the course notes at the beginning of the semester. Each class period a set of videos is assigned. The videos are segments typically 5-15 min long. A short quiz over the content of the videos is administered during the first 5 min of class. A typical class period then proceeds with brief remarks followed by group work. The instructor and two TAs help the groups. A large number and wide range of problems are given out as group work. Homework is assigned over the topic of the day.
