This was always a problem in my early years, i was a software engineer by the time i "entered" college, so i was using industry conventions and practice. A lot of times i found myself dumbing down my assignments because the people grading them simply did not understand what was going on. I once used a special loop control from the times of C++ to create a stack effect for a repeating code block. The idea being that they wanted me to use a switch/case, so i did, except i manipulated it for efficency. Failed the entire assignment which was a bummer, but the assignment did exactly what they wanted it to do.
