I don't mind doing home assignments as long as they're interesting. Make learn about some technology or some design pattern or whatever. Something that improves my skill. If I am going to dedicate some of my own time to a project, at least, push my skills to the limit and "help me" grow.

I refuse to do basic projects that make me learn nothing and feel like a wasting of time. Most of the time if the assignment is "not interesting" the future offer would be lower than I expect and the daily job is going to be boring.

I think that my point of view is going to be unique here, maybe is because I need a "push" to improve my skills (I'd rather not to be fair), but although I have been rejected from some processes after a long and hard assignment, I have learn something and I'm happy (almost grateful) about that.
