The only difference is the help of the teacher- and I see homework as the last link of seeing if they can do it themselves without assistance, to see how well they have grasped and learnt the material. Copying can reinforce, but not always- some people get stuck and just copy the answer, but in thing like Maths, they may copy down the methodology and absorb it that way.
