Yes, but going to my instructor with an assignment from a book is one
thing and going to her with a suggestion from a person who is actually
developing an OS is another.  I could say, "Justin, who develops an open
source operating system, believes that it is very useful to do X in order
to learn how Y works."

Thanks for the reply.
