Course includes possessive pronoun (3)
I believe the answer is:
our
'possessive pronoun' is the definition.
('our' is an example)
'course includes' is the wordplay.
'includes' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'OUR' is hidden within 'course'.
(Other definitions for our that I've seen before include "Yours and mine" , "''Now is the winter of ... discontent'' (Richard III)" , "Relating to us" , "group possession?" , "'-- House' (Madness song)" .)
