Case: No homework
I think that it is important to assign some homework several times per week. Some of these assignments are practice with what I taught that day and sometimes they are in preparation for the following day, e.g. prelabs, etc. Unfortunately, I have several students in each period that just aren't doing the homework. Help me!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Homework is not necessary and is voluntary if it does not affect grades. If you want the students to begin completing their homework, make it a part of their final grade. Explain to the students that if they choose to not complete their homework, they will receive a failing grade and will have to retake the course next year. Apparently, the students are not interested in the course so they will definitely not want to retake the course. |

Comments: I don't agree with this solution. I feel you can incorporate homework as part of a grade; however, it should be a minimal percentage and not the reason a student will fail a course. |

Comments: Homework may not be graded but it usually is necessary, because the students need to be able to review what was being taught in class that day and prepare for the next day. It is used for the teacher to gauge how well the students are learning the concepts, so while it may not be a part of their grade it does help the teacher know if they're understanding it or not. |
