Description
Homework can be a critical learning tool, but times have changed. Nowadays, students willing to pay a small fee can have access to essentially every solution to every “end of chapter” homework problem through sites like cramster.com. Given the relative ease of access to “solutions” to every book homework problem, what role does graded homework play in a modern classroom? Do students approach homework the same way as they did ten years ago? Should instructors continue to grade homework?
