With flipped learning, there's also the added bonus of not experiencing leaving a class without ever having understood the professor, or the professor lecturing for and entire hour and a half with no interaction from the class. After a while your brain shuts off and the last part of the class was blah, blah, (I'm so hungry) blah, blah, (Why won't this school let us have any food or drinks in class?), blah, blah, (You know we are adults?), blah, blah, (With what I pay for these classes I should be able to eat a freakin' Snickers bar!!), blah, blah, (At the point of mutiny......stomach growling like thunder.....), blah, blah....lecture's finally over. I have no idea what happened in the last half hour. My brain was too hungry! With the "lecture" portion of the class done at home (Where I can eat a Snickers bar if I want to!), class time is handled differently. It's more interactive, so it's easier to focus, even if my brain is hungry!
Haha, I love the snickers view. Seriously though, I like being able to be home, and not disrupt the class if I have to use the restroom, if I'm tired I can sleep, and if I'm hungry I can eat. Doing things on my own time, which is great if you're self disciplined, and not so great if you're the worlds best procrastinator.
