I am a college student, assigned to create 2 genograms for one of my classes. The first was a sample. No names were provided so I labelled the subject's grandparents by filling in the "Display Name" boxes with "paternal grandpa" etcetera. My teacher said there was no need to do this. I see her point, but it looks like I was docked marks (not nice for me). My question... is this wrong, optional, or unnecessary? I don't want to make the same mistake twice, nor do I want to be docked marks if it wasn't a big no-no.

Thanks for feedback,

Lynn

Do not think you were 'wrong' here. If you had names then it would have been obvious what the relationship is - and so need to show it. Can not see why you had to produce a 3 generation genogram if there are no details, unless it was an exercise in creating a tree.
I would not expect to put in any family if there were no details about either of them. You often have an example where one parent is known and the other is not but in that case there is no need to label the relationship as the genogram visually shows it - which is why I like GenoPro
