Comments: This short paper surveys previous works in Computer Science Education that have examined the flipped classroom, and describes the components of a course module design that uses the flipped classroom.

It does not include any empirical evaluation of its framework.

It touches on neither machine learning nor neural representations.

Clearly out-of-place at ICLR.  Consider SIGCSE or other CS-education venue.
Strengths: Flilpped-classroom methodology is a promising educational technique.
Weaknesses: The subject is out-of-place at ICLR.

To be suitable and interesting for the ICLR audience, the paper should show how its ideas are related to modern machine learning or neural networks, or one of the topics outlined in the call-for-papers.
Recommendation: 1: strong reject
Reviewer confidence: 5: You are absolutely certain about your assessment. You are very familiar with the related work and checked the math/other details carefully.

Comments: The International Conference on Learning Representation (ICLR) is a premier machine learning conference. The term "Learning Representation" refers to representation learning in the "ML context",
not in the "pedagogical context" (i.e., learning conditions of students). The paper best suits CS education conferences: SIGCSE and ITiCSE. 

I recommend rejecting this paper for the misaligned topic.
Strengths: N/A
Weaknesses: Topic is not aligned with the ICLR conference.

Comments: The paper presents the use of the flipped classroom in two master's degree courses in the Lebanese University - Faculty of Science - Fanar. The followed methodology including analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation steps is described. Some discussion is included on this and the prospects.
Strengths: The paper describes the implementation of the flipped classroom in two courses for computer science students so as to improve learning conditions.
Weaknesses: The paper lacks novelty. No significant contributions are presented. The use of a specific methodology in a specific university course set up is described, with no apparent contribution to generalization and knowledge generation.
Vague statements (e.g., in section 3) and repetitions (e.g. in section 2) are provided,  with no real contribution on the challenges section 5. 
It is even unclear what specifically has been achieved in the specific environment.
Language errors need to be corrected.
Recommendation: 3: reject, not good enough

Comments: This paper discusses the implementation of the flipped classroom method in two master's courses at the Lebanese University, with a focus on computer science education. The authors describe the design and development of the courses using the ADDIE pedagogical model, as well as the rubrics-based evaluation method used to assess student work. The paper also presents the results of the implementation, including increased student satisfaction and improved learning outcomes. Overall, the paper contributes to the growing body of research on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom method in higher education, particularly in the field of computer science.
Strengths: The authors of this paper provide a detailed description of the flipped classroom method and how it can be applied to computer science education. They also present a case study of the implementation of this method in two master's courses, providing evidence of its effectiveness in improving student learning outcomes.
Weaknesses: I'm not sure if this paper is a good fit for ICLR. For me, it is a better fit for a learning science or education conference. The paper applies a known flipped classroom methodology in two university classes with some user study results, whereas I expect to see either methodological contributions (in the form of modeling novelty, for example) in a flipped classroom setting, or novel evaluation methods, which the paper proposes neither. The paper also does not seem to contain any empirical analysis results. Overall, I think the paper is not ready nor a fit for publication at ICLR.

Comments: The paper provides a summary of activities undertaken to change two MS CS courses to a flipped-classroom format.
Strengths: The paper provides a reasonable justification for moving to a flipped classroom format, and it provides a summary of the activities undertaken for two courses at the MS level.
Weaknesses: The paper does not include any evaluation of the activities. There is no support for any of the claims of the benefits of moving to a flipped classroom.  There has been a good bit of previous work in this area that is not cited, including SIGCSE papers that do include evidence of improved student learning with a flipped classroom format.

Course evaluations, student surveys, and faculty surveys are all potential tools for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of learning outcomes.
