Some subjects lend themselves to more, some less. Homework gets one point for completion, and occasionally I grade the actual homework, but only when it is review, and they should know it cold. I do daily reviews in Eng. and math, and I collect one a week in whichever area I need, and I only collect them if they should know all the answers. This keeps the lazy on their toes during morning work. I grade projects, tests, and everything gets one point per item.
Tests are usually longer than other work, so they naturally weight themselves heavier.
Writing projects are often worth many points, so they are worth more without me fiddling with the numbers.
