Understanding Course Work

I often hear people talking about their coursework at school, but I'm not sure what it exactly means. Can someone please explain what course work is and how it's different from other school-related work?

Coursework refers to the assignments, projects, presentations, essays, and other academic tasks that students are required to complete as part of a specific course during a semester or a school year. The primary purpose of coursework is to assess a student's understanding of the material taught in class, their ability to apply the concepts, and their critical thinking skills.

Overall, coursework is designed to test your knowledge and understanding of a subject, while also helping you develop essential skills for success in school and beyond. Hope this clears things up for you!
