So I am reading this course where one of the assignments were to draw 500 one minute sketches from photos (focus on fashion). I did, uploaded them and everything was good. The teacher have now changed the assignment so we need to link the original photos. Something that was written NOWHERE before. Not only will it take forever to find all the pictures again. I am not even sure where I got some of them...

500? that's a lot!

While it's pretty frustrating to change it last minute, and it'll be a pain in the ass to find them - it's really important in college (or really, in anything where you research or take inspiration from elsewhere) to make it a habit to keep track of where you got your inspiration/information and give proper credit, that's kinda just how it works.

But yeah, changing it last minute does make it kind of a pain.

I get that as much as the next person. And I 100% understand giving credit where credit is due.

But I honestly find it a bit odd that we need to do this considering the teacher didn't even do this on her example pictures :/

Have found about 150 so far. A lot are deleted links and photos re-uploaded so many times it's close to impossible finding the original creator. I mean, we are talking about common pinterest street fashion pictures :/

Looking back on all the annoying requirements and callouts from college professors, it's clear to me now that they were really just trying to instill good research habits.
College is more than just doing the assignments, it's about becoming a better steward of information.

tho this sounds like a teacher who didn't remember giving a certain instruction and then being like oops well not my problem

but i see ur point, like, it will probably help with it becoming a habbit of always having the source saved

Try a reverse image search. If you're using chrome you can just right click and search for image on google.
If not tineye.com is a good tool

I mean depending on what year of schooling it is, it's entirely likely that the professor didn't think they had to specify?
By a certain point that instruction should be redundant.
But yeah I definitely have had my fair share of professors pushing their mistakes and oversight onto the students lol
