Students will respond to what is directly (and immediately) rewarded.
The future (even a midterm that's weeks away) is simply too distant
to be much of a factor.
If homework is a significant part of the grade, they will make sure

necessary.
If homework is NOT required (as in rewarded), the vast majority
simply will not do it, whether or not it is important to "learn the
material" or "do well on the tests".
