Engaging Ideas page 44 Question

Deb, Sherrie, Don:
"For most of our students, structured assignments (rather than open-ended ones) lead to greater growth: the instructor specifies the problem to be addressed; clarifies expectations about content, structure, and length; and makes grading criteria explicit."
What interrupts my understanding with the quote is our conversation from yesterday: are not open-ended questions best? It says most students...I disagree (of course, each one is different and that is handled in assignment design). Do you agree with "most" of them???
