Abstract
This paper describes lessons learned while teaching Advanced System Dynamics, at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management at Delft University of Technology. The course is an elective for Master students of the faculty who are already familiar with system dynamics modelling. We report on the course in the academic year 2014-2015, the first year in which a new teaching style was adopted - a “flipped classroom” approach was employed. In particular, the student and teacher evaluations of this approach which places student learning centrally are discussed. Conclusions on the usefulness and the role of flipping the classroom in system dynamics modelling are drawn. Further, this document includes the full lesson plan, and can be useful for other system dynamics teachers who are interested in adopting an active learning approach.
