Homework serves a number of purposes including: giving students a reason to open their books outside of class time, providing another method of evaluating student performance, reinforcing material presented in class, and turning students from passive learners into active learners.  We have used written pre-class assignments submitted at the beginning of the class period and two on-line homework systems (Cengage’s OWL textbook-linked system ( http://www.cengage.com/owl ) and Sapling Learning’s textbook independent approach ( http://www2.saplinglearning.com).  We will compare strengths and weakness of these solutions and correlate homework scores with exam and course grades.<br/>

Have you done your homework?
