My comment:

It's hard to be more nebulous than Bertrand Rothé. Talking about "réponses alambiquées" and "tiraillage sec", he is a prime example of what he deplores. I think that here, I'd say "the prof can easily ignore this layout", though I must admit, I have no insight into his mind! I may be completely wrong. Good luck Amanda!

My comment:

'cadrage' is often used for the equivalent of guidelines or framework but in this context it would seem that topic/point/subject/area/element/etc. would be a more natural equivalent

Thanks David. I was toying with the idea of the reductionist aspect (as in 'cropped' or 'skeleton') but I think your solution will be fine as the inadequacy is already stated.
