I am split between the two. The teacher is right, on the part of it will prepare you for college, and, like Jane said, it could essentially "Mine Gold".

Now to defend the students. The assignment is worth WAY to many points, especially due in that few of days. A "Betrayal Assignment", not right, he should have called it something else and at least keep the true reason to himself. He could get in some trouble for that. One last thing, he should have made it due for when they came back or had them send it to him by a certain date. Assigning it durring the week of Finals is just way to much stress. I wouldn't have been able to find the time to do it because of my studdying it.
