He/she, he, or they?
Technically, as far as I know, they isn't correct, so I try to avoid it when I'm writing a paper. Usually, I use he because it sounds much better than he/she, but this year my extremely feminist teacher almost failed me when I did that, so I stopped.
What do you use?

Depends, there's some grammatical rule somewhere that was ingrained in my brain at some point dictating the usage of the above. I couldn't begin to tell you what it is, but it dictates what I say in this case.
