It wouldn't work. Homework is there so that you learn the material well before the exams instead of cramming. If it doesn't count towards the final grade, people won't do it.
I had a professor who said that having frequent (like twice-weekly) quizzes, which has the some purpose as assigning homework, had reduced the number of failures in the class considerably.
