Students should get two assignments each term from each subject instead of homework

In my opinion, as a student, it would be far better for each student's development in classes to get two assignments from each subject, which would last them a greater portion of each term, instead of homework. These assignments will be comprised of what the students would have learned in weeks 1 – 3 and 5 – 8. This would be ample time for the students to get these assignments completed and up to the standard that is expected of them. The students that struggle with time management will find this better suited them as they can allocate more time to these assignments making them of far better quality than having other homework to do as well as assignments.

The assignments should be made to be worth a greater percentage of the student's mark as the students have more than enough time to complete the assignments, proof-read them and edit them. The assignments would be handed out at the end of weeks 3 and 8, they would be handed in at the end of weeks 5 and 10; giving them two weeks to complete the assignments. This would help the students with their time management and also make it easier for them to get the needed marks in class.

This would also be good for student's stress levels, talking from experience as a student, years 11 and 12 are very stressful with having to keep a balance of school work, homework, work, social circle and R&R. Students find it harder to manage time and keep the quality of their work “up to scratch” if they are busy trying to balance all these out. With the assignments from each subject, this will give them enough time to complete them, keep their social life, keep their job and time for their studies.
