An assignment (typically for school) that is given for the sake of having an assignment.

Bullshit assignments relate to the course, but they do not particularly advance your knowledge in said course. Since these assignments are not useful for actually learning, they are bullshit assignments. It is just a bunch of busy work that makes life more frustrating than it already is... Especially since the assignment shouldn't exist in the first place!
Some courses require essentially no homework. The teachers will begin to feel as if they are doing a poor job because of this, and in effect, will create a totally bullshit assignment in order to justify their lack of assignments.

As if the fact that kids spend almost 10 months of their entire year stuck in some classroom, learning useless information and getting their rights and individuality stripped away wasn't enough torture, somebody thought it'd be a good idea to start off the kids' summer by essentially giving them a project. That is basically what a summer assignment is.

Most people that run these school systems are oblivious to the fact that: A) Kids are not going to magically become more literate by being forced to read some crappy novel B) Most kids don't even read the books they're given, instead relying on the internet (A.K.A. that thing that proved that school is 100% obsolete) to give them a quick summary of it, and doing their 5 page essay on that and C) Most kids would rather NOT think about school during the only time they have off.

It's almost similar to when they send you packets to do during Christmas Vacation, and you were too busy doing those to actually enjoy playing your new video game system (because homework packets make everybody feel jolly!). Except imagine them taking a bite out of your summer instead. That is what summer assignments are like.
Students: "3....2.....1!!!! Summer is finally here!!!!"
Teacher: "Enjoy your summer. By the way, don't forget to write that 10-page essay and complete your summer assignment while the rest of your family is at the pool actually doing something fun!"

When someone does a specific activity or thing well. This is a reference to school when a teacher assigns a project and a student pops off.

A pickup line in which you tell a girl that she is your classmate, and you need the class assignment. After constantly asking for the assignment, she will become attracted to you and play along.
The girl was out of my league, so I used the assignment trick since its effective 100% of the time.

When someone has "done the assignment", they have completed a task to a level exceeding expectations. Doing the assignment correctly is the equivalent to success in that field.
Doing the assignment:
"Ayo it's insane how many different roles Zendaya can play in her movies, she really gets the assignments done"

2. "That food Gordon Ramsay just cooked looks fireeee, he really did the assignment"
