I think homework can be useful in assessing a student's knowledge of a concept, but it should most definitely not be the only method of assessing. Some students may not understand concepts but still turn in completed and correct homework because they got help from family, friends, or the internet. I think in general, it is more effective in seeing if students do not understand a concept than if they do, because it will be clear when a student turns in incorrect answers that they do not understand it.

I think homework is a good way to help a student practice concepts that they learned in the classroom. I do not think that homework should be used to assess a student's knowledge of a concept because there are many different factors that can effect homework performance. If a student has to watch a sibling, cook dinner, or even work a job to help the family out they wont be able perform their best on homework.

I think homework can be great practice and a way for teachers to assess a students knowledge of a concept, but it shouldn’t be the only form of assessment. Informal and formal assessments should be used. Additionally, if homework is given, it should be meaningful and intentional.

I think that use should give students homework as a way for them to practice what is being taught during the lesson. I don't think it should be used as an assessment but could give you an idea of student progresses depending on what is assigned.
