  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!)
My solution is to vary the homework. A lot of times we run into the problem of there not being any support at home to help get this work finished. Allow the homework to count but in a way that would not majorly affect a student's grade. For example, possibly give the students a point or two for every time they turn in their homework. After that, they can turn in their points for a prize out of a box. Students seem to love to earn prizes (especially candy)!!
