• NOTE-TAKING IN THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM:
     
    The flipped classroom is still probably a very new idea for you. This pushes the lecture out of the classroom and brings higher level work into the classroom so you can work on problems and discuss your thoughts and questions with me and your peers.
     
    This doesn't mean you'll magically stop struggling with challenging material. What it hopefully will mean is that you'll be positioned to exploit your time in class to work towards comprehension and mastery. This is only possible when you take the responsibility to start the learning outside of class with the videos! 

    HOW TO TAKE NOTES ON A FLIPPED LESSON:

    1. Look over the advanced organizer to start building a mental framework for the new information.
    2. Try filling out the information before watching the video.
    Don't worry about making mistakes...  this will increase your investment in the video. 
    3. Get rid of any distractors! Multi-tasking will lead to inefficiency and WASTE time, not save it.
    4. Watch the video and take the notes. Use the 'pause' & 'rewind' buttons liberally.
    5. Write down any questions that you may have in the margins (or on another piece of paper). 
    6. Work out the practice problems before watching how they are solved.
    7. After the video, use the internet to try and answer lower order questions. Save the higher order ones for class!
    8. Consider watching the video a second time, without the need to pause and take notes. 
     
    Leave yourself at least 20 minutes to properly view a flipped video in this class. (10 minutes for the video and 10 minutes of prep/pause/post activities.)
    Come in and advocate for what you didn't understand! We are all here to help you master this material!
