A Flipped PHY 133 Class

Abstract

This project is an attempt to improve student learning in an introductory E&M physics class. The class is taken by over 1000 science and engineering students annually and is on a key path, and therefore potential barrier to graduate for many Cal Poly Pomona students. This course is one of a number of attempts to use a flipped classroom structure to study student learning in such classes. We are collecting data on student learning via research-based assessment tools in both the flipped and traditional classes to assess the impact of this pedagogical strategy, with the goal of improving student persistence and eventually graduation rates.
