Assignments play a major role in the teaching and learning process as supplemental work for students to do independently outside of the classroom. Effective assignments motivate students, clear up misunderstandings, and develop insight on topics covered in class. When preparing assignments, teachers should make sure tasks are clear, concise, and correlate with students' previous knowledge and interests. Assignments work best when planned cooperatively between teachers and students, and on a weekly basis rather than daily or monthly. Different types of assignments include preparatory, study, revision, and remedial work.
