I was always resistant to homework, and shirked it habitually. When I was a TA for freshman Physics, it relieved me that the homework load was light, and considered to be a study aid, with credit given for handing it in, ( although we corrected the answers. ) The lab assignments, far from requiring elaborate write-ups, were required to be completed in lab, in the student’s lab notebook which remained in the lab ( although the students were ALLOWED to return to the lab to complete the experiment, if they wished. )
Well, I still feel that the students are in school all day, so why can’t they do their larnin’ there, you know? I guess you’re going to have some homework, but it seems to turn into some status thing, that a course must have a heavy homework load to be taken seriously.
i have another post not as elaborate but you explain the issue very well: teachers do not want to spend the time teaching. at home the parent is stuck with it. the answer home skool.
