This research shows that flipped learning enhances academic performance and student satisfaction. However, many practitioners retain traditional curricula and assessment methods, which do not align with the principles of flipped learning. Written exams, commonly used in higher education, provide limited feedback and do not encourage practical application of knowledge. The author initially flipped instruction while keeping traditional methods but later redesigned all aspects of the course to better support flipped learning. The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this redesign in terms of student engagement and satisfaction. Findings suggest that frequent, smaller assessments, authentic tasks testing knowledge application, and individualized feedback are more effective for learning and engagement than traditional approaches.
