The idea of assignment in education system was a good step.
The Assignments were given in order to increase the thinking capability, Reasoning and understanding ability of students.
Students were supposed to read about the assignment given to them, then discuss it in groups and finally when they fully get it. They were to write it in own words. That is called an Assignment.
But what we see is that both teachers and students are not giving attention to these kind of things.
What is done, Teacher gives an assignment. Students went through that topic on internet and just copy paste. This is done everywhere. As Everyone is in race of getting marks, that marks which are given of copy paste work not on understanding the concepts.
So, we should not ruin this system of assignment, As it is for the betterment of we Students.
