This is exactly what frustrates me about Engineering

Homework often counts for 10% of the grade to combat cheating. If people are just going to buy the book answer keys and share them with each other or use the answer bank their fraternity keeps on file from previous semesters, then counting homework as 30% of the grade is pretty silly because it will tend to inflate grades and penalize those who don’t cheat. Unless, of course, you flat out give every student the answer key and say have at it, in which case at least it’s fair, though grades would still be artificially high
