Sometimes people read the intro and the conclusion first and if neither of those parts excite the reader, they ignore the rest. I actually had a class where the prof advised that we do this to evaluate whether an article is worth citing in a paper. When you're doing research for a project with a due date you dont have the luxury of reading the whole thing and deciding whether to use it.
Because beyond the TL;DR, you are also evaluated on your ability to synthesise larger and complex processes, and not only to put in writing a rambling thought process. The teacher was following, he just wants to know if you know where you're trying to take him.
