Do students write the date they turn in homework on the top?

Have students write the date they turn in the homework on the top. This saves you time but could also lead to cheating. You write the date the homework was turned in on the top as it is turned in. This will only work if you have a mechanism for students to turn in work directly to you each day.

Should homework and classwork be assigned as busy work?
