    In some cases, they could describe the same activity objectively defined, but they have a different emotional meaning.

    “Go thru with” means to continue and complete some action that you have committed to doing, or been charged with doing. What is the implication that the person is unwilling, but it is not necessarily difficult or unpleasant to do it(it might just be the consequences that are undesirable). Once its finished, the activity will eventually end. When did you start that? To go through with it is just not doing it – maybe not starting, or maybe leaving it incomplete.

    “Get something over with” means to finish it – not necessarily completing it, or doing it satisfactorily, just getting to the end and stopping. What does the activity itself mean? The alternative might be not doing it at all (if it is simply a short activity), but it might be just letting it drag on inconclusively.

    In the case of homework, “get it over with?” is much more natural, to my ear.
