Your (former?) teacher sounds like he's used to dealing with children rather than adults... starting from ground up only. Children often need to be led, but that's a little insulting to an adult if there's no give and take.
As to whether the homework he's giving is useful, you have to decide where this is going to take you in a year. What will you be able to do that you can't do now, and is that worthwhile to you.
If you really do want to play Lightnin' Hopkins, say, the "technique" you need for that might be something entirely foreign to this teacher.
