I just baked cookies for my midterm. What's the most absurd assignment you've had to complete in college/university?

I am an art student. I am specializing in Mixed Media which means I can do whatever the fuck I want. it also means when I don't have a good idea I have to go with a bad one. because of this every assignment is the most stupidest. I have had so many bad ideas and so many worse executions. if I continue as I am I fear I will end up a performance artist, naked and screaming Tibetan obscenities on stage while covering myself in fingerprints of gold paint and chicken blood trying to say something profound. I just wanted to learn how to draw and throw pots.

"This is the one that stands out from among many. In a World Civ class, our entire final exam (60% of our grade) was one question: "Compare and contrast the Russian and British Empires in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Cite specific examples in your answer. Be brief." This class was almost 30 years ago, but I still remember that final exam. "
My boyfriend has more than once this semester played tag for a full two hours, during class, this was their actual assignment!
Zen Meditation class. We had to pick a partner. One was blindfolded and could speak, the other partner could see but not speak. Then we were all told to go outside and feel nature. Nature, meaning Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, which has a subway running through it, crappy sidewalks, a major roadway, and 30,000 students. We had to spend 15 minutes in each position. I was so grateful to have a friend in that class. He still let me fall over the subway tracks though, he couldn't warn me they were coming up...
"I once wrote an essay on the work "fuck." I have sung an opera chorus with 300 other people in a gymnasium. I presented a third-year essay in neurolinguistics on a piece of bristol board at the professor's insistance. I copied down all written material on city buses. "
"I took a class taught by our Dean of English called 'Contemporary Abduct Narratives' Every week, we listened to some late night AM radio show about "true" paranormal stories. Our homework each week was to watch two episodes of The X-Files, and write a three-four page paper about their structure/style/motifs. We read Slaughterhouse Five and* Fire in the Sky*. Our final was pizza and watching Fight Club in the lecture hall on the big screen. "
This is why I'm in the sciences. For my chemistry midterm, we sat down and did some fucking chemistry.
"We were put into "platoons" told to walk around campus asking people if the were the enemy, if they were we got points, if we didn't ask someone and they found us we lost points. this was my english final "
For our final exam for my german civilisation class, the teacher told us to do anything. Paint, dance, play an instrument, write an essay, whatever. NO OTHER GUIDELINES.
I took a humanistic psychology night class in undergrad, and for our finals we were supposed to express ourselves in a creative way that related to the content of the course. I made a mobile that included doodles from my margins and a dinosaur version of Carl Jung. It was a big hit, although half the class showed up drunk and were therefore easy sells.
