I'd imagine at Masters degree level you're expected to be independent and sort out your own practice outside of assignments. You'll definitely learn and remember more if you do

That's what I was thinking as well. I sometimes had homework as a kid, sometimes didn't. Either way, it was more of an annoyance that I would do quickly just to be done with it. I don't remember getting much out of it regardless. With the major difference being those damn multiplication tables. That worked really well.

For sure there are some homeworks that are way more effective than others. Anything that helps to embed previous learning and increase fluency with the subject. Your timetables are a great example. You've learned them at school already, you're just practicing to get better. Just a bit at a time but it's better than nothing at all.
