TALENTS Lunch Seminar Series: Flipping a class - First-hand experiences of a first-year flipper

2015-11-06
Hosted by: Faculty of Engineering

TALENTS (Teaching And Learning EnrichmenT Sharing) Lunch Seminar Series for Engineering Teachers

Abstract:

Supported by the Faculty of Engineering, Prof. Sidharth JAGGI experimented with completely flipping his freshman/sophomore engineering mathematics classes (the second flipped course is currently ongoing). He will talk briefly about the challenges he faced, try to offer an honest cost-benefit analysis, and walk through some of the "social engineering nudges" that seem to have been effective in these early CUHK Engineering UG courses. Along with Prof. Paul LAM of Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research, who will talk about different academic and real-life perspectives on flipped classrooms, in the hope to have an open discussion about flipping with colleagues.
