Nope, data is written in several tracks. When using multi-session you'll
make a new one for each new addition and that's why 1X CDs can't handle it.

Yes, and here you may choose if the CD should be finialized (completly
closed) or not (multi-session).
A CD-RW doesn't need to be closed and then you can keep on adding things to
it. If you do close it (you'll need to do this to read it with a CD reader)
you must reformat it.

All CD-RWs can do that.

What? You want me to actually get some proof for something that's common
knowledge among almost everyone that has a CD-R/CD-RW? I don't have time
for that...
The school (A+ certificate?) wasn't correct (or you remember it
incorrectly) and it seems your friend doesn't know how to handle his/her
CD-R/RW program.
