assignments
Work handed out
Assignments are tasks or duties given to someone, typically by an authority figure: The teacher handed out the weekly assignments.
In education, assignments are work students must complete—essays, problem sets, reading.
In work contexts, an assignment may be a project or a posting to a particular location: Her first assignment was the Tokyo office.
The word also covers the legal transfer of rights or property: assignment of the lease.
