Teaching each semester 12 classes with 7 lectures in a case study and flipped classroom setting

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to outline how the switch from a classical ex-cathedra teaching of the topics business process management and project management in two different and separated courses to an integrated case study based and flipped classroom format changed the perception of the students as well as the outcome in learning and exam result. This paper will also show, how the course was evaluated by more than 300 students and what is important due to lecture performance and dean alignment. It has shown, that the lectures must commit to the set-up as well as the dean, otherwise parts of the students are more likely to engage less in the course. In addition, it is also shown, how the knowledge exchange between the lectures was done and what the experiences were in trying to teach “the same way” amongst the different teachers and classes with the same learning objectives and at the end the same exam, based on more than 50 peer visits of lecture.
