Well from the assignments I have done and seen they seem to vary from unit to unit.... some questions are what I call "mickey mouse questions" and I cannot even believe we have to answer such simple things while others do require more in depth answers with more research
As I am doing my Diploma as an existing worker I think my assignments are a tad more interesting (or perhaps not) as I actually base a lot of it off actually observations of the children I teach and actual scenarios rather than having to answer my questions off a given senario.... if that makes sense.
It is hard to judge some of the assignments as some are very oddly and confusingly worded making them seem more complicated than they actually are, I do wish TAFE would use more student-friendly wording rather than technical complicated jargon they seem to enjoy using! Another thing is they give no indication on how much or how little to write ... in school and Uni we always were given word limits etc so you had some idea of the detail required, TAFE seems not to do this... again my support person said just keep it simple and if you can put something in bullet points do it.
I RPLed most of my Diploma so am unsure of the practicality side of assignments, I was asked about most of the things verbally and a lot just came down to common sense stuff to be honest!
As for boring well.... sometimes the assignments seem boring but once you get into them they are pretty interesting... well some are anyway!
some just make u want to bang your head against a wall !!!
