A First-time Flipped Classroom Experience: Measure of Outcomes and Challenges

The University of Cincinnati has a campus in the US and an international campus in China. Students in both campus take the same courses given by the same team of instructors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perception and feedback of these two students’ populations taking a sophomore electrical engineering course in a flipped classroom setting. Data was collected in this study using both quantitative and qualitative surveys; a comparative analysis of the students’ perception is performed. The result indicated that students in both campuses have positive perceptions toward the use of flipped. However, the data showed that, the international students had a different approach as compare to US students. Recommendations are made to improve their experiences with flipped classroom pedagogy.
