Students learn new ways of teaching

"Geography professor Ron Dorn is one of the professors who helped create the social studies courses. The courses were constructed around the idea of “flipping the classroom,” Dorn said.

“Why should you come to a classroom, physically, to listen to a lecture?” he said. “That’s so 19th century.”

When a classroom is “flipped,” the core knowledge is online in the form of lectures and in-class time is devoted to discussion and further understanding, Dorn said."
