In a photography class or course, what does the term “open shoot” usually mean? Does it mean there is no assigned subject and you can photograph anything you like?

Your assumption is correct; an "Open Shoot" simply means that there is not a particular assigned subject. The word "open" in this context means not restricted.
An assigned subject in a photography course could be something general like nature or street photography or something specific like architectural details, abstract art, or the color red. Instead, with an Open Shoot, you can take photos of anything you like.
When I took a photography class in Vancouver, Canada, Open Shoot was used in this manner. Here is a different photography class in Vancouver and a camera club in Florida that define it in the same way, too.

Yes. In a photography class, “open shoot” usually means the shoot is not restricted to a specific assigned subject or theme. Instead of being told to photograph something particular—such as nature, architecture, or a color—you’re free to choose your own subject matter. In other words, it generally means you can take photos of anything you like, within any normal class rules or location guidelines.
