Most of her grade comes from weekly writing assignments.

Note
A regular plural that feels most natural where assignment names a countable thing: a task handed out, a post someone is sent to, the homework a class turns in each week. When the singular names the process itself, the act of assigning or placing something in a category, the plural turns that process into separate occasions. Examples include a series of seating assignments, or category assignments made one item at a time.
