My colleague assigns reading and an online quiz about the reading material that must be completed before the relevant lecture. If the quiz is not completed before the lecture, the quiz "locks out" and the student is given a "0" for that day. Because of this system, students come to class prepared for the lecture/discussion. Initially, the students express resentment, anger and frustration but quickly learn that they can engage in meaningful conversation and relevant application of the material in a classroom environment.
In the United States, we take for granted the gift of learning and education.
