Academic Writing

Hi,
I would like to know the best word to define the work carried out by students during the academic year which is also assessed, but itn't a final examination, a thesis, a dissertation or a internship report. Generally it consists of doing research on a given topic and writing a papers, as a result.
I've come up with some ideas, but I would like to know some English native speakers opinions. Here they are:
- Academic papers,
- Essays,
- Term papers,
- Academic assignments,
- Coursework.

I accept new suggestions.

Thanks,
Ana
