Having been on the other side of the assignment process, I think that's a very big worry.  The purpose of an assignment is to assess what the student knows and _understands_ and, by implication, what parts of the subject need to be reinforced.  How is that possible when external tutors are involved?

These days assignments often count towards a student's end-of-year assessment too.
