The assignments thing probably makes particular sense in engineering disciplines? They’re generally in a pretty well defined context throughout their academic career and often as groups. Just trying to guess at context. Otherwise I did have a similar feeling in academia studying math. Especially given the general requirement courses. I often wished I could spend more time on certain topics than a course allowed or found entire topics just not taught locally.
