Flipping Business Finance

To identify, explore and institute pedagogical course design initiatives for Fin 360 which the Chancellor’s Office has designated as a “bottleneck course” i. e. a high enrollment, low success course in the CSU. Such courses currently have a too high a proportion and number of “repeatable grades which are grades of D, F and W” which impedes timely graduation. The ultimate goal is to improve student learning, access and thus efficacy to overcome this bottleneck. Feasibility of "scaling-up" across instructors by increasing the number of offerings of such a redesigned course and/or increasing class size will be explored as well. The redesign effort plans to achieve the above goals by making online delivery more interactive, dynamic and effective which may allow "flipping" the class in an In-class setting and a more personalized and effective access to the content material in the online/hybrid setting.
