Flipping Content to Improve Student Examination Performance in a Pharmacogenomics Course

Flipping the classroom to improve student performance and satisfaction.

This study aimed to determine the effects of a flipped classroom (i.e., reversal of time allotment for lecture and homework) and innovative learning activities on academic success and the satisfaction of nursing students. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare three approaches to learning: traditional lecture only (LO), lecture and lecture capture back-up (LLC), and the flipped classro...

Using Course and Student Profiles to Improve Student Success

Flipping Modules to Improve Circuit Performance and Routability

Preplaced modules may be flipped to improve performance and/or routability. We show that several versions of the module flipping problem are NP-hard. We propose algorithms to obtain module orientations that minimize the total wire length for module matrix and standard cell models. Additionally, we propose a heuristic to flip modules so as to minimize the length of the longest signal path. The r...

Student engagement and examination performance in a team-based learning course.

With calls for innovation in nursing education from national bodies of nursing, nurse educators must determine the best teaching strategies to meet educational standards. Team-based learning (TBL), an innovative teaching strategy, offers educators a structured, student-centered learning environment. The purpose of this study was to compare TBL and traditional lecture (a commonly used teaching m...

Intervention strategies to improve student performance

Student performance has dominated current discussions on educational matters and many believe that the new curriculum is not yet absorbed in schools and consequently student performance leaves much to be desired. This has resulted in finger pointing among stakeholders. However, the fact of the matter is that something should be done to improve the current status quo. Every one has a right to ba...
