> where homework tends to be on the order of 75% of your grade

I think I found the problem.

It's hard to balance when you have an hour of homework assigned every day, but only get tested about once a month. So you have 20 hours of homework vs. a 30 minute test.

The difference in magnitude ends up being too much. Either each homework assignment is worth almost nothing or they outweigh tests.
