TESU Writing Assignments

[Mamawenzie]

I'm starting a class on Monday and the syllabus has been posted. There are six writing assignments and the minimum requirement for each is a 3 page essay. However each assignment has two completely unrelated questions. Has anyone encountered this before? I'm wondering if each topic has to be a minimum of 3 pages or if its a 3 pages total (combined.) I don't have a problem with the longer option, but don't want to turn in something that is twice as long as it should be, either. I can ask the mentor, but thought I would see if someone here had the answer first. Thanks!
