Hello:
I'm not trying to be mean here, so please don't take anything I say as that
way.

When presented with issues like this, you have a couple options. I do not
know your circumstances, so it's worth noting that this is coming from a
place of not knowing you.

Your options in this case are to walk out when you find something that you
think is "unrealistic" or to find a way around it. Your walking out doesn't
just make you look bad for not discussing this with the professor, but it
means that the class which you are presumably paying for, which goes over
information you may need later is missed.

In this instance, there are other alternative solutions which may have
worked and which may work for you later. First you could request the TA help
you go over your paper with relation to the other paper and figure out what
you're doing wrong and taking notes, or you could ask the professor for
notes on what you're doing wrong. I'm sure there are other ideas that people
will chime in with as well.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
