Instructions for assignments need to be extremely clear and well structured.  I am very good at following directions, but when left with an open-ended assignment where the professor says something like “just choose whatever topic you want,” that gives me severe anxiety and I have absolutely no clue what to do (it’s not just that I can’t think of a topic, I feel truly lost and confused), even if I understand the subject matter well.  Even if they still gave the rest of the class an open-ended assignment, I would have appreciated if my professors assigned me a specific topic and gave out clear and definite written instructions.

That seems pretty easy to accommodate, no?
