Re: [Phys-L] homework

[Philip Keller <pkeller@holmdelschools.org>]

A couple of thoughts:

I allow students to share hw solutions with each other and even to post
them on a class-shared document.  I would rather that they copy a solution
than just give up.

On the other hand, I will dock points for solutions that match a solution
guide.  And I am sure we all know the ways that an official solution guide
looks different than student work!

But most important is that homework doesn't count that much and it does not
take students too long to figure out that if they don't really work it out
on their own, the tests are going to be an ordeal.
