“I like a teacher who gives you
something to take home to think about besides homework.”
Lily Tomlin
Homework Helper
"Homework is extra
work assigned to be completed by the assignee at
home. The
term is generally used to refer to
primary or
secondary school assignments as opposed to
college-level
coursework. Homework is disliked by most kids, and usually consists of small
assignments, such as five open-ended reading comprehension questions
(in the cases of History, English, and Science
textbooks)
or 30 arithmetic problems. Therefore, they usually are given a short time
for completion, 1 to 5 work days. Depending on the case, larger take-home
assignments are usually referred to as projects,
essays,
book reports,
presentations, or genericized as "major
assessments" or "major
evaluations". Policy on how to treat students who don't hand in their
assignments on time, or who are discovered
handing in other student's work as their own, is usually left to the
discretion of each teacher or the school.
