Implementing Peer Instruction in a Large, Flipped General Chemistry Classroom !Dr. Matthew W. Stoltzfus Chemistry Lecturer The Ohio State University

@Dr_Fus

As Educators we are faced with challengesAre all of your students coming into your course with the same level of background that helps predict success?

Are they coming to lecture as prepared as you would like them to be?

Are they good at thinking critically, applying what they have learned and synthesizing material?

How do you handle the variation in preparedness, ability and motivation you see in your students?

Feedback should...(1) focus students on the key knowledge you want them to learn(2) be provided at a time and frequency when students will most likely use it(3) be linked to additional practice opportunities for students
