I know of a full-time community college professor who stresses there is no way to pass the Biology course without doing the online homework modules as the class proceeds (e.g. a component of the final grade). Also, to get the highest grade possible in the class, successful students do the online homework modules as the class proceeds. When it gets to a pivot point in the semester and students start coming to ask about how to improve their grades, looking at their status of the online homework modules is such a strong indicator of performance it's uncanny.
