Definition
授课 means 'to give a lesson, to teach', and is a separable verb (离合词). The verb 授 can split from the noun 课 to insert aspect markers, complements, or measure words — for example, 授完课 ('finished giving the lesson'), 授过课 ('have given the lesson'), or 授了三节课 ('gave three lessons'). It is more formal than 上课 and commonly used in academic or professional contexts.
