I also hated any teachers who graded homework. Homework is to get you familiar with the material, to make sure you understand it, or, in the case of more math based classes, to make sure you can do it on time. It does not in any way test your knowledge. It just wastes the time of the people who get it.

I disagree entirely, I always found tests pointless. There’s almost no real world scenario where I have to parrot trig identities in under a second. Unless you’re helming a ship or tracking a missile there’s nearly no value to being able to perform under such a short artificial time constraint.
I always preferred difficult take home exams.
