A flipped classroom describes a class where students complete readings and watch lectures outside of class, while in-class time is spent on activities to practice content learned. The implementation of a flipped classroom approach has been shown to increase student learning and student enjoyment of courses. This paper describes using the flipped classroom technique to improve learning outcomes and student interest in an organic chemistry course. We assessed student learning and enjoyment through a student satisfaction questionnaire and comparative analysis of grades. The survey consisted of 14 Likert questions and four open-ended questions. Results of the student satisfaction questionnaire confirm that the majority of students believed that the flipped classroom teaching approach helped them learn better/more, that it improved their learning outcomes, and that they liked it better than a traditional class. The results of grade analysis did not show a significant difference between the flipped and traditional formats.
