Assignments are not there for you to be creative, they are there to test your ability to complete the task and produce the desired outcome.
All students are measured on whether they achieve the correct outcome - you get marked down for each incomplete or inaccurate outcome of the assignment.
Marking is therefore made easier for the professors etc if everyone turns in roughly the same thing with the desired outcome
If you go and get too creative, you make it far harder for the professors to mark your assignment because you end up masking the desired outcome in superfluous fluff that they resent having to wade through.
Your thesis is the time to be a pioneer and demonstrate your ability.
All assignments should be completed with as little effort as possible that achives the desired outcome.
Easy to mark, and easy to gain the maximum grade. Anything extra is a complete waste of time and effort for all involved.
I learnt that the hard way initially, until I worked it out.
You will have plenty of opportunity to be excellent after you get your grades - do it the easy way, then test yourself after in the real world. Although, even the real world usually has a pretty simple brief
If you want to do it your way, the only guaranteed way to do so is to ceate your own project on your own time.
