I think your homework anecdote actually supports the argument of TFA. in many classes, homework has devolved into another technique to inflate grades. in most of my college courses the homework was either very easy or graded for "completion". almost always a complete waste of my time, but it was usually worth too many points to skip entirely. I had a couple professors who would "assign" difficult problem sets that weren't graded at all. it was usually a bad call to skip them, because the exams were actually hard. that's the only respectful approach, imo.
