Flipping+the+Classroom+for+Busy+“Full-time”+Adjunct+Faculty+and+Part-time+Students

//**Abstract:**// Students and faculty are busy; therefore both can appreciate the flexibility of the flipped, not flopped, classroom! The word “adjunct” is generally an anomaly. Adjunct faculty and part-time students are full-time somewhere in their lives. Homework: Flipping the classroom entails some learning before students get to school and more hands-on andragogy activities in the classroom. Flipping the classroom can also help harness some of the energy that has been exerted someplace else during the day.
