Flipped Asynchronous Course Redesign in Critical Thinking PHIL 102

PHIL 102 is an A3 general education course, which is widely regarded as a "bottleneck" because of its high repeatable grade grate. This project invovled a series of course redesign strategies aimed to improve student success in the course. The first redesign attempt utilized a hybrid format. The second redesign attempt utilized a hybrid format combined with asynchronous learning. The third redesign attempt utilized asynchronous learning in a face-to-face format. Results suggest that asychronous learning in a face-to-face format improves pass rates and mastery of course learning outcomes, while the hybrid format both with and without asynchronous learning lowers pass rates. Project results also suggest that pass rates stablize regardless of class size.
