Assignments and internals are there to keep a check on our preparations for the externals, which they somehow manage to do. But with the increasing number of assignments, it is difficult to focus on and develop any other skill.

Assignments are important as they give us a chance to evaluate our performance and also help us in gaining some extra points. I agree that it takes a lot of time. It is important that lecturers guide us properly and do not overburden us with a lot of assignments.

Assignments and internals are given to us to evaluate our understanding, to make us revise what we have learned in class. If you are a person who studies everything in detail, in class, and then try to apply that in assignments, it is called mastery over a subject. But, if you just copy your friend’s assignment, it is a waste of time.

Lectures only provide us with information on the subject. But for assimilation and internalisation of those concepts, we need to do assignments. This results in deeper understanding of the subject.
