I wouldn't be surprised if they made up some sort of fake assignment for the students as part of the orientation week. Gotcha! There can be all sorts of silly things that can happen during that week.

I know I had to write a mathematics test during orientation, prior to to the actual term starting which ended up being fake. LOL
