Flipping the classroom where the content previously taught in class is completed by students before coming to class has become a popular technique within higher education. This paper compares students’ performance in an upper-level space mechanics flipped classroom to a more traditional classroom. Among three sections of the flipped classroom, the average final grade of students in the flipped classroom was 4.66, 8.82, and 9.93 percentage points higher than students in the traditional classroom.
