        See the Assignments API for more details on assignments.

        Assignment group and section information are included for convenience.


        Each section includes course information for the origin course and the

        cross-listed course, if applicable. The `origin_course` is the course to

        which the section belongs or the course from which the section was

        cross-listed. Generally, the `origin_course` should be preferred when

        performing integration work. The `xlist_course` is provided for consistency

        and is only present when the section has been cross-listed.

        See Sections API and Courses Api for me details.


        The `override` is only provided if the Differentiated Assignments course

        feature is turned on and the assignment has an override for that section.

        When there is an override for the assignment the override object''s

        keys/values can be merged with the top level assignment object to create a

        view of the assignment object specific to that section.

        See Assignments api for more information on assignment overrides.
