Maybe they meant that the student rushes/half asses tasks. Doing them quickly doesn't imply them being correct.
There's alot of us out there that don't work like the system expects. You either know the answer or you don't, taking more time doesn't do anything for our brains.
But the role of the teacher is to analyze the student's behavior and provide useful coaching/advice. If your response to every critique is "Well, I'm just not constructed to operate that way" then you've squandered any value in the perspective of your mentor.
You're implying some kind of native and intractable component of your psychology. As though neither you, nor any of your classmates, should ever be expected to adapt or expand your abilities. A bleak perspective to apply in adulthood. An absolutely nihilistic perspective to have when you're still a very plastic formative child.
On multiple choice questions, maybe. Not on essays or proofs or other depth-of-knowledge questions.
If you were asked the question "How do bird's fly?" you can provide a very wide latitude of answers. Some of them are short and pithy "They flap their wings". While others are far more involved or focused on a particular area of expertise "" versus "" versus "".
But if you're in a biology class and you keep giving physics answers to the question, then turning your nose up at your teacher when they say you are missing something critical, why did you sign up for the class to begin with?
Mostly horizontally, a bit vertically. 😂
