Assignment Writing Best Practices

✅ Do This

  • • Make the problem realistic and relatable
  • • Provide enough context without overwhelming
  • • Set clear deliverables and success criteria
  • • Include constraints that require strategic thinking
  • • Test assignments with your team first
  • • Use language appropriate for the role level
  • • Include examples of good AI interaction

❌ Avoid This

  • • Vague or overly broad problem statements
  • • Tasks that can be solved without AI
  • • Unrealistic time constraints
  • • Industry jargon without explanation
  • • Single "correct" answer scenarios
  • • Overly complex multi-part tasks
  • • No examples of expected AI usage

Common Assignment Pitfalls

Too AI-Independent

Assignment can be completed effectively without AI assistance.

Fix: Add complexity, research requirements, or creative elements that benefit from AI collaboration.

Unrealistic Scope

Task is too large or complex for the given time limit.

Fix: Break into smaller components or focus on specific aspects of the larger problem.

No Clear Success Criteria

Candidates don't know what constitutes a good solution.

Fix: Define specific deliverables and quality expectations in the goals section.
