We have a solutions manual [that the prof put in the library] that we can use to check our answers, but I'd guess about 80% of the class, including myself, gets together with a friend and works through it all ahead of time before checking it.
If we DID just copy the homework...we would pay on the exams. They are HARD. And there is no way to pass the course while failing the exams. So I really don't see the problem with working together on stuff in general.
Of course, my prof allows it, which is a bit different.

my calculus classes were like this - you could totally tell who cheated and copied cause they were always like WTF at exam time. then again, taking calculus, you are always like WTF at exam time.
