Wimmer Fellowship

01 Apr 2025-04/30/2026 00:00:00

The course content of an advanced elective I am teaching is significantly complex, so I was interested in incorporating ‘flipped classroom’ – especially journal clubs – strategies to support student learning. To understand how this approach may have been used previously at the undergraduate level, I conducted a literature search, but this revealed, surprisingly, that ‘flipped classroom’ approaches had rarely been used to teach this topic. Therefore, as a trial, I incorporated 2 journal club(s) in this iteration of the course (S25). Two methods were used to collect student feedback. First, responses were collected via exit tickets. Second, an ECF session was conducted after the second journal club. The feedback from the students was excellent. Considering this excellent feedback, I applied for and was awarded a Wimmer fellowship by the Eberly Center to refine this novel approach, devise strategies to improve student preparation and participation, improve assessment methods, develop high-quality rubrics to evaluate learning, and importantly ensure that these journal club sessions are inclusive and provide an excellent learning experience for all the students. This fellowship may also allow the wider dissemination of the outcomes of this educational experience more broadly through a publication and/or conference presentation.
