# Assessments in a course

`GET /assessments`

Fetches assessments for a course with optional filtering by lesson or lesson grouping.

Assessments can be associated with different levels of the curriculum hierarchy:
- **Course-level**: All assessments in the course
- **Lesson grouping-level**: Assessments for a unit, section, or module (e.g., "End-of-Unit Assessment")
- **Lesson-level**: Assessments specific to a lesson

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Get all assessments for a course
- Find assessments for a specific lesson grouping (unit, section, module)
- Find assessments for a specific lesson
- Build assessment reports or tracking systems

**Note:** You cannot provide both `lessonId` and `lessonGroupingId` in the same request.

## Query parameters

- `courseId` string, required
- `lessonId` string
- `lessonGroupingId` string
- `limit` integer
