Do you have the rest of the error message?
Have you made any recent updates to your Moodle (upgrades, new plugins)? Which version are you on?

Sorry for so long time to reply. Actually the problem always exists. Strangely, when I edit & save any activity or resource in any course, the problem dissappeared. However, it will occur someday randomly.

The error is that that class \mod_assign\event\course_module_viewed has been defined twice. So somewhere there is another file that is also defining that class.
You'll have to search your code base. Do a search for "course_module_viewed". And look to see if either there is a namespace declaration "namespace mod_assign\event;" or a class name "class mod_assign\event\course_module_viewed extends" in a file other than at "mod/assign/classes/event/course_module_viewed.php".

It's possible the file has been copied to another plugin and not edited correctly.

Thank you, Mark! I grepped and can confirm that there is no repeating class declarations. Very cubersome.
