I make homework worth 5 points also, and assign it daily; that way students never have to wonder if they have homework; the answer is always YES! The only days "without homework" are typically days before holidays, like Thanksgiving. But then the homework is "Don't eat too much." I collect it each day but don't necessarily grade it - after teaching for many years, grading papers isn't my favorite thing. Hope this helps. - Mr. L Hi Matt,

What do find is a good policy for grading/marking HW? I'm thinking of using a 5 point rubric although I don't forsee collecting it everday. In the past I started HW grades at a 100 for everyone and deducted 5 points for each missed HW. Any suggestions. Thanks. Hi Bill,
