If the instructor said that they wanted you to come up with more information by yourself but will take you through it next time you're together then I think it's a fine instructing technique. If they just fobbed you off and were trying to make themselves look good then obviously it's not.
I don't know what the instructor is after but if you can answer these questions you should be on the way I reckon;
What is the minimum weather I can depart with?
What is the minimum weather forecast at destination I can depart with?
What are my alternate requirements and options available?
Does the Baron have instruments that enable approaches to all the runways?
What will I do if I lose an engine on departure/ in the cruise/ on approach.
How much fuel will I need for different weather situations? ( ie what's the min I will need and what's the max I can take?)
Will I have to limit bags in order to carry enough fuel?
Shall I contact the pax in advance and give them a baggage limit?
How will icing effect this flight? ( what do I do in icing conditions?)
How do I file my flight plan?
What are the loss of comms procedures?
Is there any airspace/ airfields nearby that I might want to be aware of?
What is my PNR nil wind and how do I recalculate that quickly based on my ground speed ?
Is there PAL at destination or alternate that I need to familiarise myself with?
I don't know if that's the sort of thing your instructor is after but if you can answer all those questions off the bat you've obviously planned the flight.
