  • Homework is any assignment not performed at school. You may multiply your categories indefinitely -- prepare for a debate, learn lines of a play, write lab reports, and so on. Please give us an idea of the different vocabulary you expect and how you would use it.

  • The two categories of homework are done and not done. Correction: the single category of homework is not done.

    I'd call them: "a <subject> problems assignment", "a writing assignment", "a project"

These are by no means the only terms for the examples you listed, but in my studies I have heard them called as such:

1. solving problems in theory: "problem sets" (mostly in physics or math)
2. write compositions: "paper" (as in, "I have to write a paper.")
3. make handicrafts: "project," or perhaps "arts and crafts project"

  1. If it is the testing of an idea, it is 'experiment'. If it involves numbers, it is 'calculations'.
  2. Writing skill or essay writing.
  3. Art and design or Practical creativity.
