For me, it's reverse foot all the way. There are a couple of ways of achieving this, I prefer using null groups but it can be visualy easier to use joints(where each joint is there instead of a null). What way have you done your foot set up? I've never followed a rigging tutorial from Kurt but the guy knows what he's talking about, so if your tutor is saying it's not right..........hmmmmm. Can you post a shot of your foot set up, it would offer a point of reference for us all. Cheers, Mat.
