Active Learning and Flipped Classroom in a Bottleneck Accounting Concentration Course

A majority of the students who take this course took their prerequisite financial accounting course in community colleges. The level of coverage on topics varies significantly across community colleges. Therefore some students are not well prepared for the course. On average we have 50-60 students in each section. The topics that needs to be covered in this course are comprehensive and extensive. Therefore it is hard to engage any other types of pedagogy methods except lectures. To redesign the course, I will make three changes in the class: 1. use recorded lecture to prepare students for their in class sessions. 2. Use tutoring services to give students additional help. 3. Use the in class time to engage students in active learning .
