Is it recommended to read everything by your lecturer in order to better 'calibrate' your semester paper?
General tips?
yes.
this goes for any subject.
>be in engineering class
>doing first year fluid modelling
>told we can solve the problem any way we want
>actually only allowed to use Bernoulli
>not told this
>just ask past students, they give us the answer because the question was bullshit and due to marking criteria could not possibly have allowed for self directed learning, only presenting all the work in a way expected by the lecturer.
you're not allowed to have an opinion different from your lecturer. it's called expectancy breaching and it leads to ad hominem as an ego protection device on their behalf.

If you're an undergrad you'll get a passing grade but it will be hollow and you won't feel like you've done anything.
If you're a grad student prepare to get kicked out for plagiarism unless your professor is literally Zizek tier.

Id say yes and explicitly refute your prof's position. They'll probably enjoy a fresh take and will like that you can think for yourself and arent a dogmatist
