Example of what it may look like:

1. On their own, students read the assigned textbook chapters.
2. They complete exercises through Moodle (these are graded automatically).
3. When class begins on Tuesday, they complete an "entry ticket" which further assesses their learning from the reading.
4. If they score a 95% or better on both the exercises and the entry ticket, they can opt out of the rest of Tuesday's class. For everyone else, we meet and review the concepts they had the most trouble with.
5. Before class on Thursday, they watch a video lecture (about 15 minutes) which adds additional concepts not covered by the textbook.
6. In class on Thursday, they do activities in class that challenge them to apply the learning in a more complex manner.
