That's a frustrating place to be in, when everyone assumes you know something but you don't and you don't want to look like an idiot by saying you don't understand, and everything's moving farther and farther away from what you know.

Checklists are totally good. Also articles are one of the last things to be acquired when learning a new language (prepositions is the other).

This is science. The teacher is not going to take the time to work with him to see if he knows how to write complete sentences. He is not going to know enough abut what is being asked to answer that he doesn't know why these weren't complete sentences. He can write complete sentences, he doesn't think how to change a definition structure to a sentence structure, it is hard for him. Almost done.

OMG, tell me about it. Not that my multi-lingual doctor colleagues aren't way smarter than me, but I PROMISE you, my English is better! (This often appears to be up for debate.)

Um, wow.

Wow!
