As•sign•ment.

An assignment is a task that someone is given to do, usually as part of their job.

In American English, an assignment is also a piece of work given to students to do at home.

Be Careful! Homework is an uncountable noun. You do not talk about 'homeworks' or 'a homework'. Note that you do not say ' I have made my homework '. You say 'I have done my homework'.
