Erm… she didn’t tell us WHAT her definition of culture WAS until after we turned in the paper. Don’t assume things.



I have trouble believing that you couldn’t have gone and asked about that ahead of time. I admit, there are a few teachers who just pull problems with your paper out of their ass. But from my experience, when someone complains about how a humanities teacher is so horrible and unfair, it’s usually because they never asked or thought about what he or she would like to see written.
