An assignment is a task that someone is given to do, usually as part of their job. An assignment is also a piece of academic work given to students. The course has heavy reading assignments. When class begins, he gives us an assignment and we have seven minutes to work at it.Homework is work that school pupils (Chiefly BrEng)/students (Chiefly AmEng) are given to do at home.
