Just try to give credit for the things they did, not for what they are.
Eg if they paid attention in class, or if they took good notes, or if they did the homework, or if they studied -- credit that. Hopefully as a parent you'll have some idea of how they're spending their time.
But I absolutely agree that saying something false is not going to do them any favors [although they might learn that you have no idea how they spend their time].
