Unfortunately, in my school (ranked 'one of the top' in the US) textbook homework holds a huge percentage of the final grade.
The other thing is, I find it highly ironic how colleges are starting to adjust the admissions system so that GPA is worth more than SAT. Based on my observations, such a change is utter garbage. It doesn't take a monkey to come audit a class and discover how inaccurate GPA is. And to think that I have to listen to people who can't even make the 1500, the midline mark (you get 200 points per section for writing your name), complaining about how the SAT is an invalid "punishment", just because they have near 4.0 GPAs. Hmm.
