Giving the same (or slightly modified) assignments year after year is just asking for plagiarism. What did he expect? When I TA'ed a class, we changed everything from year to year, but used questions of similar levels of difficulty.

Grading consistency is a problem, but can be dealt with. Usually, when a question was "too hard" on a test and became a grading nightmare, it was because the questions weren't well presented or broken into simpler pieces that can be graded somewhat separately. I quickly learned to write homework and test questions with parts that follow the line of reasoning necessary to solve the problem at large. I also tried giving a similar question on the test to a homework problem that required the same steps, but didn't outline them on the test and that seemed to work as well.

Or just make all homework be handwritten in cursive! Even code!
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.
