<p>Well, maybe I exaggerated with HALF the reason of new textbooks updating, but that is just an issue discussed among publishers.</p>
<p>
Are you sure :rolleyes: I have taken about 15-20 science classes at UCLA, and only one class didn’t count homework (Baugh). Why is there still a weight on assignments then?</p>
<p>
I wonder how many people did homework for Baugh? </p>
<p>
Sometimes, these are the problems professors assign, maybe to detect cheating.</p>
<p>thats funny because I remember someone asking my orientation counselor how the hw situation was and her situation was the complete opposite of yours. ive only taken a few science courses, but so far none have required hw. and whether people do or dont do voluntary hw is their own choice because theyre grown ups and can make their own decisions. theyre assigned to help for exams and whether you choose to take advantage of that aid or not should not and does not matter to professors. and that last statement is just being neurotic because professors could probably care less which is why exams are the determining factors of grades while everything else is practically gimme points. who cares that you can answer stuff with the help of friends and the internet and tutors with unlimited time if you cant think for yourself on an exam in a timely manner</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Of the ~25 science classes I’ve taken, probably 6 at the most actually had homework count as some percentage of my final grade, and that’s only if you count chem lab write-ups as homework, but it doesn’t look like it fits in what you’re arguing about (but then again hw is still hw)</p>
