The next dB-SERC lunch discussion will take place Monday, January 24 from 12 – 1 pm.  During this lunch discussion, Dr. Ben Rottman from the Psychology Department will lead his third course transformation discussion on flipped online classrooms for Research Methods in Psychology.

In this talk I will discuss a new flipped version of Research Methods in psychology. I have taught the course now as an entirely virtual class as well as in-person. I will talk about three main things. First, I will talk about lessons that I have learned about implementing a flipped class, especially about the amount of content and making iterative improvements. Second, I will talk about challenges that remain, especially around attendance policies and how students earn their grade and SPECS grading. Third, I will talk about a large cheating scandal that occurred in the class last semester having to do with take-home online tests. I will discuss how I identified the cheating, got 67 students to confess, and lessons I learned.
