That's one thing. But when a question is posed like that, the only result is someone does exactly what they say you shouldn't: regurgitate facts. The kid is just going to read whatever Dye and Ziegler say and spit it back. There was nothing about, counterarguments or support.
Though, I've never heard of the school, so it might just be a 13th grade type of college for idiots who just want a degree. And what is a 17 year old doing in college anyway?
It was definitely a poor paper. He just rambled the whole paper, basically handing in an essay, when it appears that they guy wanted a research paper. I still think the prof is a douche for offering that type of wording on an assignment. But I don't have context to the class or other questions that were offered.
And this kid probably wasn't a Dean's List type of student since he can't communicate.
