Like what I saw
Which are correct:
1) I don't want to see homework like I saw last week. From now on you have to do a better job.
2) I don't want to see homework like the homework I saw last week. From now on you have to do a better job.
3) I don't want to see homework like what I saw last week. From now on you have to do a better job.
I think the 'what' in '3' makes things a bit vague, but does it make the sentence incorrect?
'2' is probably too wordy, but seems clear.
I am not sure about '1' either.
Gratefully,
Navi.
