 * Use of a “Flipped Classroom” Approach in an Adult College Algebra Class **

A project to evaluate a method of flip teaching was set up within two separate College Algebra classes. From the curricula of each, the topic of radicals was chosen as the subject to have the flip teaching approach; this happened over two consecutive class sessions. The rest of the class content was taught in the traditional lecture style. In the week before the class sessions, the students were provided with YouTube videos specially prepared for the students to review before the classes met and with links to the related Khan Academy videos and practice sessions. In class, the students worked in Teams on related problems while the instructor circulated, providing individual instruction. Each of the Teams presented their solution methods to the class. The students were surveyed regarding their experiences in the class and their impressions of the flip mode of instruction. The results were summarized in a paper.
