Abstract
A micro-flipped classroom combines the traditional lecture-based course and the flipped classroom for a blended mixture of the two pedagogical approaches. It allows the instructor time to lecture in class, while promoting more interactive discussions between the students. In this study, we compared the differences between a traditional lecture-based course and a micro-flipped course to see if there were differences in three exam grades and overall course grades. Exam specific analyses revealed that exams delivered in the early and mid-semester (Exams 1 and 2) resulted in slightly higher grades in the micro-flipped class group, and the statistically significant benefits of the micro-flipped course emerged during the third exam. We conclude that all increases in student performance are meaningful, and benefits of the micro-flipped classroom can be realized within the course of one semester.

Summary
A micro-flipped classroom combines the traditional lecture-based course and the flipped classroom for a blended mixture of the two pedagogical approaches. The flipped classroom model involves redesigning the traditional lecture-based course to allow more time in class to focus on discussions and understanding the concept(s). Albert and Beatty (2014) suggest that there are five key components in a flipped classroom These include: The educational process transforms students from passive to active learners Technology facilitates the approach Class time and traditional homework time are inverted so that homework is done first Content is given real world context. The flipped classroom incorporates technology into the learning model as students are prompted and required to listen to lecture based material at home and come to class ready to engage and apply the information in the classroom setting
