people should be reading the chapters for the lecture ahead of time as their homework, and doing the practice problems in class instead of a lecture
While it's been decades since I went to college, I'm surprised this is no longer how it's done. That was pretty much the routine when I was in school.
At the end of the class, the professor would say, "Next week, we'll be doing X, Y, and Z. It's chapters A, B, and C in the book." You'd prepare for it over the weekend. The following week, we'd have a mixture of lecture, discussion, and quizzes.
Is it the other way around now? Lecture first, then the books and papers?
