Abstract In this study, the authors investigated the efficacy of requiring graded homework problems in an introductory operations management course. Using grades on multiple-choice tests as the performance measure, the authors tested hypotheses concerning the effect of requiring graded homework on the exam performance of 330 students. Results indicate that requiring graded homework had a negative effect on exam performance.
