Student perceptions of different homework methods - traditional pencil-and- paper instructor-graded homework, modified traditional instructor-graded homework, and online homework (automatically computer-graded) in an introduction to operations management course are analyzed. Students perceive value in homework as a learning tool - regardless of the specific methodology used for homework. Contrasting with more optimistic perception studies, only slightly more than half (51.22%) prefer online homework to the more traditional homework methods. With the continued proliferation of technology such as online homework into the classroom, educators and administrators need to work with students to improve student’s perceptions and capabilities in the online environment.
