Flipping an Advanced Programming Course


Abstract

This project aims at developing a flipped advanced programming course offered to the students who have taken an introductory programming course. In learning programming, it is crucial to have a lot of practices to realize the theories learned in lectures. In an advanced course, as students have background, they can pick up new knowledge quickly. In this project, we want to develop appropriate course structure and materials such that students can be benefited from the extensive hands-on programming exercises with the guidance of the instructors after learning new programming techniques through video lectures. This course allows us to understand the costs and benefits of flipping a class. By introducing different forms of performance evaluations in the course, we could understand how students who took different introductory programming courses perform. The studies would help to further enhance our programming courses in various levels.
