Increased Preclass Preparation Underlies Student Outcome Improvement in the Flipped Classroom

A 5-yr study of an upper-division course explored changes in student learning outcomes when the course was changed from a standard lecture to a flipped format. Student exam scores, particularly for female and low-GPA students, improved significantly.
