Homework is useful as a form of revision, if idiots think they can cheat to a better score the university just needs to take away that incentive: 0 marks for homework, all marks on the exam and a viva.
He should perhaps ask students if they want it marked and if they do still provide feedback, but be clear it won’t count for grades as cheating is too easy.
Lazy students will do no work all year then fail. Clever motivated students will continue to do well.
More people will fail till they realise they need to do the work, but that’s just the way it is, it’s the only way to be sure (along with vivas) that students know the subject.
