We will report on recent implementations of active learning approaches in the general chemistry curriculum at Marquette, ranging from flipped classes aimed primarily at non-majors to studio classes for our majors.  Studies of the flipped approach will emphasize a parallel controlled study of the flipped classroom in second semester general chemistry, which demonstrated gains for students in the bottom demographic as identified either by pretest or prior course performance.  We will report on a subsequent redesign of the flipped course aimed at scaling up total enrollment while keeping class sizes small (i.e., &lt; 30 students), and maintaining equivalent contact hour load for faculty and workload for students.  Finally, we will describe recent implementations of studio lecture/laboratory courses in our majors sequence.
