homework

n. schoolwork assigned to be completed at home

Homework, short for homework assignment, refers to tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed mostly outside of class, and derives its name from the fact that most students do most of such work at home. Common homework assignments may include a quantity or period of reading to be performed, writing or typing to be completed, problems to be solved, a school project to be built (such as a diorama or display), or other skills to be practiced. Assignments are usually required to be completed and turned in by a specific deadline, often the next school day. Homework generally counts as part of the student's grade in each class for which homework was assigned. Homework usually refers to primary or secondary school assignments as opposed to college-level coursework. In some private schools homework is known as prep as in preparation for the next lesson.
