Severus here:

O.K. this is my own interpretation, but it does seem to indicate that Hermione did use 
it for her homework as well as her classes.

Pg. 395 PoA US softback

"It's called a time turner," Hermione whispered "and I got it from Professor 
McGonagall on our first day back.  I've been using it all year to get to all my lessons."

This is Hermione talking about classes.  Then on the next page.

Pg. 395-396 PoA US softback

"I'd never, ever use it for anything except my studies...I've been turning it back so I 
could do hours over again, that's how I've been doing several lessons at once, see?"

Hermione is using the word "studies" indicating homework, and then uses the word 
"lessons" again to indicate classes.  The only thing she didn't use it for was more 
sleep, which she could have used.  But that is JMHO.  Feel free to tear it apart. And I 
think there is another reference but I can't seem to find it.  And sorry this took so 
long.
