In math, what does your homework count for?

does it count toward your actual grade or does it count towards your work ethic? my teacher counts it as a grade which is fucking stupid. im failing math becuase i havent done any homework, but im getting perfect on all my quizzes. i think it should count towards work ethic

based on the breakdown you wrote - you only really have to be in class for the quiz and test days. just get your homework and what you learned in class that day from a friend who went, and you never need to go. you should probably just skip math class, go the once or twice a week for the quiz or test, and your laughing.

my homework doesn't count for shit grade wise
its just practice, but then if you fail a test and you did the hw, she will be "more willing" to let you retake it. but on the last test the class average was 100%

Don't complain about doing poorly overall if you neglect to do homework that was assigned to you. If it's so easy just fucking do it. It's a part of life, deal with it.

Correct which is how it should be. If you already know your shit then come in and take the stuff on the days you need, to prove it. However you can't pass the class if you are absent too many days, but that has nothing to do with your grade. That grade breakdown i gave is completely accurate though. I can show you it online it says it in my gradebook.

In my math class, homework is worth ten percent.  However, if you don't do it, he'll let you make it up for 2 blowjobs per percentage point.

my professor counts it as 16% of my overall grade which sucks because she has some grader do it for her.

wouldn't that have everything to do with your grade?

2 points as long as all the odd problems are correct. The answer key does so much work.

nothing at all. we get roughly 40 problems to do for the following class and the teacher doesn't even mention them ever again.

i think ours is like 10 percent.

we get maybe 6 or 7 problems each week. most end up being page or so-long proofs. and none of the answers are in the book.

isn't upper-level math great?

I'm in college but I'm taking an online math class but the teacher, which I think this is totally dumb, makes us turn in homework to our actual campus, take tests on the campus (? weird for an ONLINE class..) and we have about 30 problems a day to do which count for half our grade. Plus online tests on top of our regular tests. Plus the online test software doesn't work on macs so I have to find a PC to do anything online with. Kinda blows. Wasn't expecting to do more work for a math class than my spanish class.

uhmmm, do you mean effort verses accuracy? If my teacher is grading on accuracy, he tells us which problems he's grading. Each of my assignments is worth 3 points, as compared to a test which is worth usually around 50.

Our teacher just checked so that when kids parents come and ask him why they're shitting the bed on their tests, he could be like "this is why, they're slacking off." If you didn't do your homework and crushed the tests then you could still kill the class. I certainly enjoyed that system.
