I am currently studying Mathematics and Physics and there are a lot of questions which aren't available on Chegg, so I was wondering if there was an way to get these answers without actually paying up for the subscription.

https://homeworkify.eu/ helps! but it's rather lengthy. I mean, I have to give it my email and prove that I am a human, open email and then click on the link to get a solution. Is there an easier way?

If that truly was a joke, it was in poor taste and very unclear.

Your method of 0-10 is not "essentially" the same as a pass/fail system, as it's not a pass/fail grading. By definition it's a graded system. Homework assignments (not projects, mind you) shouldn't be quality-graded, because their use is supposed to be as learning aids and not as student quality measurements. Please don't misunderstand, I appreciate the effort you're putting through for your students. However, claiming that most of them make As, to me, is irrelevant. What I truly cared about in school was whether I learned. The grade was secondary (though it usually followed), which is why the pass/fail homework assignments were so helpful--they allowed me to learn without the worry of a grade. Granted, we did have more quizzes in those classes, but if you did the homework with the goal of learning, you were ready for the quizzes.

Say there are 10 assignments graded 0-10 with 5 points for the attempt and the potential for an additional 5 points. Now, the minimum points required for an A is 50. This means you simply nerd to do the assignment. The "grading" is giving numerical feedback on the quality of work relative to the expectation of where students should be.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I don't care about grades, and care more about the learning. The P/F (0/100) scale has absolutely no worry on a grade. Just do it, and get 100. This can (and will), obviously, be abused by some students. But those who care, won't abuse. Again, I'm not saying you're wrong.
