I like homework that asks me to think about something and then write about it. I do that anyhow, for fun, and I learn about neat things that way-- like structural adjustment, for example.
I'm less a fan of homework that asks me to write about something that I'm supposed to memorize, or just know-- as opposed to thinking about it and writing, say, a summary of the main ideas or a response to it.
I'm especially not a fan of slog homework, where you do something fifty times over in order to learn it. Luckily for me, most of that stuff isn't strictly homework; it's given, but not for marks, so I can do it till I know it then leave it be.
I do like writing, though. You may have noticed.
