I found this article provocative. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/apr/27/bulldoze-the-business-school

http://nautil.us/blog/the-case-against-lectures I agree that lecturing should be minimized--but it takes a plan and a cultural change for students to know they have to read the material and that class is time for activity and interaction.  I try to do both, but am not always successful.  I taught a new class this semester and tried to have relevant application activities for the chapters; since it was a class in Interpersonal Communication at the 2000 level, I wanted them TALKING to each other.  I was pleased that now at the end I go into class and they are talking (silliness, sometimes, but that's ok, they are young) rather than glued to their cell phones.
