Homework is coursework assigned to be completed outside of class hours.
What the catalog says
The catalog states: “The purpose of homework is to reinforce the classroom learning. Homework is important as it helps the student build on what they have already learned in the classroom and prepares them for the next stage in their learning.”
“Homework is also valuable for teachers, as it helps them assess the progress of their students.”
Homework activities may vary according to the needs of the various subject areas being studied. Some homework will consist of completing work begun in class and preparing for future lessons, while students will also be given work to encapsulate what they have learned and to help them progress to the next stage of their learning.
“Students are encouraged to seek assistance from their instructors in planning and completing assigned homework and any other coursework.”
