  • Your sentence just imply that you stayed in school and did homework, and they don't tell us anything about whether you've done the homework or not.

I don't think there's enough information in the sentence to determine with any precision whether "completed" or "worked on" is meant. I assume that the distinction is not important to the speaker who says this. Otherwise, he would have used the more specific terms
