STEM Redesign with Flipped Classroom and Active Learning

We are redesigning and flipping these four lower division science courses so that in class time is spent in group problem solving, discussion, and other research-based high engagement activities. Our ultimate goal is to increase student learning and overall success in STEM disciplines. This proposal is supporting faculty in these efforts and because these are large enrollment classes it relies heavily on students who work as Learning Assistants (LAs) in the classroom. The program has been shown to improve student understanding of content knowledge, engage faculty in course transformation, and to increase the number and quality of future high-school science teachers.
