Is My Lecturer Correct in Specifying Initial Conditions for PDEs?

Has my lecturer lost the plot!?

He keeps giving us PDEs to solve where the initial conditions specify x at a POINT rather than along a curve e.g. solve yz_x+xz_y+z=y given z=2 @ (3,1)

should he not be saying z@ x = ... OR z @ y = ...

thanks

It's the point (3, 1, 2) in cartesian coordinates.
