Homework
Homework was work assigned by a teacher to a student at a school. Such work was usually assigned to supplement classroom instruction. It was to be accomplished on the student's own time, usually at their home or residence. The instruction page would be on the computer, accessible with a PADD.

Yet, Benjamin Sisko had to admit he never heard such music since he was his son's age. Eventually he suggested that Jake invite Nog over to do their homework together, as they were in the same class.
