They mean the same thing and are both right.
The only difference is that the first sentence is more specific by referring to you.

The second is better.
The first would only apply if the teacher left, and provided homework before leaving.
I would say: your teacher assigned some homework for you.

@Lucy2021 can you give more context? I think they have slightly different meanings. Depending on the context, one may be more appropriate.
