Maybe your professor was used to old C :) It is discouraged practice to cast malloc - the only rationale I can think of nowadays is when you have to compile the source with both a C and C++ compiler. Otherwise, it is redundant at best (it was useful when malloc was defined as returning char*, and C did not allow for automatic void* to other pointer cast).
