The document discusses the advantages of homework that promotes meaningful learning over homework assigned just for the sake of assigning it. It proposes using case studies as a more effective alternative to traditional homework. Case studies require students to apply their knowledge to real-life examples by activities like interviews, workshops, and conversations with exchange students. This allows them to practice their skills in a way that engages multiple senses. In contrast, homework that just involves copying information does not facilitate as deep of a learning process or easy recall.
