You never said if you don't do it you'll fail, you said students should do sample problems/examples and then take the test. From your post that I quoted, it seemed like you completely ruled out homework altogether. I was trying to say that sample problems aren't good enough to get the concept.

No study the examples/samples from lecture. Then go lock yourself into a room and work as many fucking problem sets as possible. After that go ask for help. That doesn't count as homework to me

Homework is a professor saying do this and turn it in next week. I think that is bullshit.

Believe me, I know as well as anybody that homework sucks, 13 Units in one semester of caluclus, a homework set for each unit that hovered around 30 problems a piece, but a little bit of pressure to get homework done helps you understand the concept, and then when you need to study for the final you can go over notes/grade homework/tests to get a complete grasp of information.

So when I talk to ppl who are like "I work too much to go to school" or "I don't have time" it just irritates me.

out of curiosity how do you fit a full-time school schedule with an already hectic work schedule? online classes? night classes?

Yeah, I will be working the full 40hrs here at work and attending 3 classes for 12 units total. German, English, and Math.

What more pressure do you need than the tests and final exam?

I see why professors do it. It pads the grade. Unless you're me and then you just lose those points without giving a fuck.

Right now I'm taking online courses. It seemed (note the word "seemed") like it would be so easy, but it takes a looot of dedication and committment. I have assignments due 5-6 days a week (1/2 of them group projects or research projects) so I'm constantly checking my school website to make sure I'm on track. I fell into a rhythm though and it's not as hard anymore. Usually I go to work, drive home, school work for an hour, hit the gym, school work again for 1-2 hours. Saturday mornings are reserved for school too; I usually wake up at like 7 and work on school stuff til 1 or 2 or so. It's def worth it though - and the classes go by so quick

Thing is, if you REALLY want to do it - you'll do really well. When you're in school just cause you feel like you have to be, your grades tend to suck. When you're in it cause you want to be though... way better Plus, you can earn scholarships for being on the Deans list (like I did )

Lol professors don't give you homework because it "pads the grade". They could give a fuck less what grade you end up with after all is said and done. Look at Law School, homework is very rare in Law School, but if you don't do your reading and shit, you're going to be totally boned for the final, since that is the only grade that counts. Math professors are the same way, they don't care about your homework grades, it barely helps your grade anyways since it's mostly like 5-10% of your overall grade. They give it to you so you can understand the concepts better.

No having percent of the grade for homework definitely pads the grade. In my calculus courses the homework was online and you could do it as many times as you wanted. Automatic 10% right there. Same with homework in other classes.

Or if you're me automatic 90% max grade.
