Students are also people. If we're managing a software project, a single deadline at the end is sure to suffer from delays. It's better to split things into shorter deliverables with more frequent feedback.

You can have optional assignments and quizzes that serve that purpose.

If you take away the credit given for homework, you still can give feedback, while removing any incentive to cheat.

		Few students do optional assignments unfortunately. Other tasks that are directly worth a gradetend to take priority (e.g. studying for another class that has an exam this week).
