Recommended way of getting student assignments in Google Classroom API

Question

Trying to get all assignments for a given student but cannot find a reliable (fast) way to do it.

It seems like the only way would be:

1. Get the student courses via courses.list
2. Loop through the courses list and call courses.courseWork.list for each

Say that on average a student has 10 courses, then 10 requests have to be made. But this takes a while and is kind of overkill...

I would like to know if I am missing something, is there a better way?
