So I assume you've got this:

- project.org
  - courseX
    - covered topics (unsure about this one; not necessary)
      - topic 1
        - task related to topic 1

Either you are OK with this level of headings (I would not care) or
you have many different possibilities.

1. Additional Org-mode file(s): see other answers

2. Usage of flat hierarchy

- project.org
  - non-educational
  - courseX
  - courseX notes

3. Usage of tags

- project.org
  - X    :non-educational:
  - course material    :courseX:
  - course topics      :courseX:
  - course notes       :courseX:

Or you can use a combination of these methods or additional methods
which do not come to my mind for now.
