If the point of college is to learn rather than to simply get a degree, then after you do you work, you should check it, to see if you got it right, and if you failed, try again.

So, he doesn't want students to check their work, eh? After that first assignment, I'd cheat by every method I could possibly think of at every opportunity, because at this point, he has made it about grades, rather than about education.

The only time you can't go back and re-work and check the internet for help is during a test. You're SUPPOSED to look things up with homework, homework is for learning before a test. After all, the whole point of homework is to prepare yourself for a test, if you don't do the homework, if you just copy the answers, you won't be ready for the test. So what exactly is he achieving by not letting students get the maximum value out of homework?
