Taking directions one line at a time

I suppose it's the 'fault' of the person who wrote the exam, but only one student in four years so far has ever done this. The exam subject is an article that the students have to explain and interpret. There is a list of questions that follows the structure of the paper, there both to guide them through the points to discuss and to help us grade the results. Before the first question, there's a guideline: take the time to describe the experiments, their results and the conclusions one can make from each.

So I have on hand 20 exams starting with Question 1: blah blah blah
And one where Question 1 appears on the fifth page, after each experiment has been described...
