The story with the instructor was that this person marked me down on a drawing, because I used "patterning that doesn't describe the form." In other words, the lines I made did not follow the contours of the shape I was trying to depict. Now, I recognize that this is a valid technique, which has useful applications (the above sketch is experimenting with it, and it is kinda fun). However, to dock my points because I opted not to use the technique is... well, shenanigans. There is no such thing as a "correct" technique. The correct technique is simply one that gets the job done: you like it, it looks good, and it does what you want it to do.
Moral of the story: don't let anyone perpetuate this brand of bullshit. There's no "right" way to do anything. Even if there was, would you want to be right?
