One of the things people often fail to learn in university is that, once they leave, they will be judged on what they have learned, not on their grades. I think that the sooner an undergrad learns that getting an answer wrong on a homework assignment isn't the end of the world, the better. For their own stress levels, too. The focus on grades and "the right answer" instead of learning and thinking is probably why it can be so frustrating for both parties when someone fresh out of university comes to a (programming) job interview. I've noticed a lot of attempts on freelancing sites to pay a contractor to complete homework and school assignments. I can't imagine a worse form of self-sabotage, and it seems like students have profoundly the wrong message about education.
