The point of having labs that go along with the lectures is to practice what is taught in the lectures. Homework is the other part of practice. One needs to have office hours available for students to ask questions. Teaching assistants must be available for students for tutoring sessions where students get to ask questions and get help, as well.

The flipping is just a way to save money by cutting out teaching assistants, eliminate office hour requirements and reduce the number of teachers and professors hired.
