Contributor Anne Kadet writes: I've finally figured out the secret to hassle-free living in New York: lurch out at 3 a.m. It's amazing how easy it is to get your errands done during vampire hours. It may not be the all-night party scene it once was, but New York still is the city that never sleeps. After midnight, you can hit the gym, order a slice, enjoy a pedicure or buy a big-screen TV—all without battling the usual crowds.

When struggling with a decision — whether to purchase a new laptop, change a business model or a life-changing decision, such as quitting your job to start up a new business — we're often told to "sleep on it" as though somehow in the light of the morning, the choice will be clear.

One of the most frequent questions faculty ask about the flipped classroom model is: "How do you encourage students to actually do the pre-class work and come to class prepared?" This really is not a new question for educators. We've always assigned some type of homework, and there have always been students who do not come to class ready to learn. However, the flipped classroom conversation has launched this question straight to the top of the list of challenges faculty face when implementing this model in their classrooms. By design, the flipped model places more emphasis on the importance of homework or preclass work to ensure that in-person class time is effective, allowing the instructor and the students to explore higher levels of application and analysis together.
