That makes sense. Your professor sounds pretty chill.
I don't know why singular 'they' irks me so much; I know many people consider it legitimate usage. It's a strange bias of mine that really has little basis in logic, or in considering the way languages evolve organically.
Maybe I should have clarified that at the risk of sounding overly pedantic.
