Pedagogy/Teaching & Learning

For many years organic chemistry was taught at Gloucester County College using the traditional lecture format. During the past academic year I had the opportunity to “flip” the classroom for both semesters of the two semester sophomore organic chemistry sequence. This presentation will describe the techniques and technology used to accomplish and deliver the flipped classroom, explain and show how each semester topics were divided and presented to the student, and discuss the use of classroom time during the semester. Preliminary student performance and comments from this past academic year vs. standard lecture format performance from previous years will also be presented.
