What is a flipped classroom?

A flipped classroom basically means you learn the theory before class (videos, readings, short quizzes at home) and then use class time for doing things with it like discussions, problem‑solving, group work, projects etc. At Forward College this fits their active learning style where you’re expected to go through the materials on your own first, sometimes do a small assignment, and then seminars are used to answer tricky questions, debate, work in teams, and apply what you’ve already studied, usually in small groups of about 15 students.
