I can't even get undergrads who are paying thousands a year to do the readings ahead of discussion sections.

Jeff Bezos can't get his employees to do the same, apparently. That's why meetings at Amazon start with a reading period, to ensure that everyone has read the memo that's on the agenda. The "flipped classroom" is an edfad than only works in advanced courses. Even worse: process-oriented guided inquiry with students who don't want to be there.

Even if the students won't do their homework, they're better off doing discussion and practice in the classroom than just lectures.
