Speaking as a former professor, homework has value. There isn't, and can't be, enough class time for every student to work on all the things they need to. Reading, practicing problems, writing code, etc. are valuable teachers and take widely different amounts of time for different students. Some things need to be practiced.
Class time is important, but so is 'thinking' time.
