      In my experience, homework is garbage. It’s busywork. The intent of homework is fine: repeat exposure of what you have previously learned. The execution of that intent is generally a piss-poor waste of time and energy.

      The single best way I know of to retain information is to teach it to someone. Tutor someone, or group study. Or, in the absence of actually teaching it, plan a lesson, as though you intend to teach it to someone.

      I’ll admit to not being very good about homework, but I didn’t wait until the last minute when I did do it. I was an okay student at best. Doing more homework would have helped me more than anything else.
