Amen, Cherie.  What my students quickly understand is, if they do not do
the homework test results suffer.  I expect students to bring questions
to class on problems they are working on.  If there are no questions, then
I know it is time to pick up the homework problems. <g>

How do those of you who grade all homework keep students from copying from
each other?
