In my applied math class, 95% of students need to reinforce concepts learned in class.
Perhaps the only flaw in my system is that I'm offering a reward to students for doing what they should naturally do.
Anyway, I venture cutting up fliers for homework could be considered busy work. Doing extra math problems is not.
And if a parent ever challenges my homework policy, claiming their kid already knows the material, I'll simply question why they are in applied, not pure math.
