As part of the redesign, lectures are mostly online videos and classes are taught in a special room inside Hicks Undergraduate Library. There, small moveable tables allow students to interact more easily and white boards are used at each table. “Everyone has a pen in their hand,” Delworth said. “The chairs are not bolted to the floor. For what we are doing, we need to move around. A normal classroom doesn’t let you do this.” In Delworth’s algebra and trigonometry course, students are in the classroom for one weekly 75-minute class, instead of three 50-minute classes. Videos of Delworth’s lectures are available online. Students are expected to watch the lectures before the Thursday class. Once in class, students work on problems together.
