Abstract

As an important method complementary to traditional teaching methods, online teaching has become an indispensable way for students to acquire knowledge freely, regardless of time and place. The teaching methods applied in university courses are more flexible and diverse nowadays, and the flipped classroom is one of the frequently chosen among other commonly used methods for teachers. Compared with the traditional methods, flipped classroom has some prominent advantages. It can greatly mobilize the students' enthusiasm for learning, and prompt everyone to think and learn actively.
