Assignment

Assignment or homework refers to a task given by a teacher or professor to their students. These tasks are usually theoretical in nature, however, these could be practical tasks as well. For example, a student pursuing their masters degree course in management, can be given an assignment to write a report on "The rise of Netflix and the fall of Blockbuster in the US". It should be noted here that assignments and homework are mostly based on what has been taught in the class or what has been prescribed in the course textbook.
