This is great. More professors need to be like you. With the exception of barely 2 projects in uni, all my homework/projects were short and small scale, meaning I already knew how to complete 90% of it, and just had to learn the content from the latest lecture to complete the rest. With this assignment I probably would have known ~40%, meaning I wold have to buckle down and actually get invested - figure out what I know and don't know, and self study to the answer. Because I wouldn't just be able to rely on my teacher and lecture notes, I would actually have to take (some) control of my learning to succeed (rather than expect the teacher and textbook to hand feed me everyone I need to know). Because I'm not hand fed everything, I would actually become motivated because my success (or failure) for once would be somewhat in my own hands. What a concept!!! Congrats.
