What is the point of grading homework for college students anyway? The objective of exams is to determine mastery of the subject. It makes sense to have a grade act as a certificate of mastery.
Grading homework is a measure of conscientiousness and perhaps a pedagogical tool to force learning but by college perhaps we should have moved out of the need for the latter.
One can simply measure conscientiousness through attendance grade and mastery through exam grade and then we have two grades the universities can certify students for that are no longer dimension reduced into a single number.
