it really depends on what the spirit of the assignment is. and that is 
on the instructor. either way, he is a <bad name> who didn't make it 
clear. good training for all the other <bnames> that one comes across in 
life. the key is that you have to please the instructor so it is up to 
the student to decipher what the true "spirit" of the assignment actually is
