Why is it necessary for them to perform some religious practice in order to
write about it? Would you ask students in, for example, a psychopharmacology
class to take methamphetamine for a period of time, keep a journal, and
write about the psychological effects of the drug on them?
Sorry, but if an instructor ever required me to practice a religion, I
would feel pretty uncomfortable in that class.
