Assalam alaikum evry 1 , what's ur opinion about the topic? Is homework helpful 2 u or harmful? For me its quite helpful as it helps to lock the lesson given at school in the mind by implementing the theoretical information into practice and in the form of how v would b facing the question in the exams :)

Waalaikumassalam wr wb!

It's helpful...but not to mention, at times it is harmfull...especially if u have made some timetables and all that for ur upcoming exams, then u may not be able to keep up with it because of 'HOMEWORKS' ......
but at other times, it proves to be helpful...cuz students usuallay dont study, unless they've got homeworks to do :p

I used to think that it was useless from the beginning till my O Levels. esp. Maths. And man we used to get a lot of homework back then.

Now that I am in A Levels I realize that Homework is of utmost importance. But too bad teachers do give homework now. And even if they do its not checked.

I now understand that we only realize the importance of something only when its gone.

Never did homework , so don't know! :p . I guess if it's well planned by the teacher then it's good but if it's just a formality on the teachers part , then it's no use. Homework only helps if it's completely linked with the lectures in class.

It is always helpful cz its a daily revision of the work. Although it can be boring at times!

Not harmful,but not even helpful as we are not always free and do have other stuff to do apart from doing homework all day long..

Lol,hw isn't harmful,'cause the teacher will always give you homework related to the course you're doing! The hw sums or questions help in preparation of tests which obviously,later on,helps in exams and finals too. So,I think hw cannot be "harmful" in any sense,it's only meant to help you,not harm your academic performance in any way, whatsoever
