"Coursework" is a mass noun, which means it is uncountable and used in similar ways to other mass nouns you might be more familiar with. Think water , love , or ass-kicking .
Here is a sentence from Cambridge English Corpus
Studio courses are intended as the point of integration for all other coursework and educational experiences. ( source )
Similarly, words such as "schoolwork" and "homework" are also mass nouns. You can't count them or pluralize them.
My science teacher always sets a lot of homework.
- Ass-kicking is not a mass noun. "If you don't finish this soon I will give you an ass-kicking." Water is primarily a mass noun, and love is commonly a mass noun ('Love is the most important thing to have in your life.'), but is often a countable noun as well ('She is the love of my life.'; 'Find a new love.'). – Brandin Commented Nov 8, 2018 at 7:02
- Thanks. Is there any website that I can use to find out if a noun is accountable or not? – Lei Xun Commented Nov 8, 2018 at 7:49
- @Brandin A lot of words are not strictly mass nouns. Of course, we could find words that are "more" uncountable than others, whose plural forms are considered non-idiomatic, as examples. I was just giving examples off the top of my head and wasn't trying to list "pure" mass nouns. "Ass-kicking" is also a mass noun. "I have some ass-kicking to do." – Eddie Kal Commented Nov 8, 2018 at 15:43
- @LeiXun Try MacMillan and Cambridge Dictionaries. – Eddie Kal Commented Nov 8, 2018 at 15:44
