Should I assess differently?
Take several semesters to implement• Flip a whole topic• Flip one-third of the course• Flip two-thirds of the course• Flip the whole course.

Is the flipped class better than the blended class?
_________________________________
Flipped vs. Blended (Preliminary Results)• Significantly higher performance for all
students together (14%, 18% Mixed)• Not significantly different for free-response
questions• Self-efficacy lower (10%, 13% higher Mixed)• Not significantly different classroom
environment other than individualization!
