Personally, I find it useful for this particular subject but it has its disadvantages.
I’m responsible enough to learn on my own, a flipped classroom sort of reinforces this, but I will often get lost in the sea of information that’s out there. Mostly because I find it interesting but it’s not particularly useful or relevant to the course.
Another disadvantage that I had during the first two weeks of class was network problems, I had no internet so my productivity was reduced to how long I could stand working in coffee shops or half-assing assignments since I had to visit friends’ houses to use their internet.
In conclusion, it’s an interesting approach to learning and I prefer it over the traditional approach for this course. But, its drawbacks can be overwhelming since I’m not used to it.
Well the problems i might see are that if a student who really doesn’t are into programming and you place it on a environment where he is the responsable for learning probably will fail, but is his decision.
And let thank Ken Bauer for the awesome link he gave us to understood the meaning of Flipped Learning which I will leave below.
Thanks for reading and till next one.

Flipped Learning.
I think that flipped learning is a good option with topics that can have some variations for different people, programming is one of them since everyone has different ways of doing it, even if the code needs to be the same, so, with flipped learning we can find the best way that works for us, instead of just doing it like the professor wants it.
I might find some trouble with this because I am used to be told how to do the stuff in this kind of classes, where the things we have to do are more practical, I have only have this kind of learning with memory classes, only memorizing information, so, this kind of learning in this class is a little bit hard for me.
I think that what the teacher has to do, is to explain the main bases of the subject, in order for us to look for the right information.
