    A Good Flipped Classroom Case 09 from AP - Dr Dennis LEUNG

    This case study examines the implementation of a flipped classroom model in the course "Physics II" (AP10006), taught by Dr. Dennis Leung from the Department of Applied Physics. It outlines the rationale for adopting this pedagogical approach and details the step-by-step execution process. A key best practice was the use of a semi-flipped approach to ease the transition for students, coupled with a strong emphasis on gathering and incorporating student feedback to refine the teaching method. The study also highlights the provision of additional out-of-class learning support. While demonstrating a positive impact, the case frankly addresses significant challenges, including student unfamiliarity with the flipped model and a limitation in the availability of innovative technology to create dynamic in-class activities.
