Mnemonic
宿題 shukudai — 宿 (to lodge) + 題 (topic): "the problem to lodge with at home." One bloodline with Korean sukje; 宿 also lodges in 宿泊, 下宿. Japan's summer 宿題 bundles free research, diary, and drawings into one armful, and the last-week cramming at August's end becomes a nationwide seasonal scene. When the teacher sets it, 宿題が出る; when the student turns it in, 宿題を出す.
