That's what I am doing for my classes, just provide useful feedback and mark the homework as submitted. The university wants points, but for me any submission is 100% points, even if there are errors and omissions.
However, now there are students that just copy the output of LLMs without even caring to understand terminology and notation. Should that count as a completed assignment? In some egregious and too obvious cases I ask them simple questions about what they wrote and don't give them marks/points if they have no clue.
Using LLMs as assistants for homework is one thing, and there's no way to prevent it. But students who just copy characters from the screen without caring to understand what is going on are on another level. Above all, they are wasting their time.
Regarding giving or not giving scores, that's a complicated issue. Scores provide a "negative incentive" for learning. A positive incentive would be some pat on the back for doing the assignments. However, our brains are not wired by the evolution to do things only for positive incentives when there are no grades/deadlines/etc.
In my experience, being lenient works great with graduate students, and undergrads won't do and won't understand anything in the course if there are no grades. I learned that the hard way.
