When talking about something that could be either gender, do you use...

He/she, he, or they? Technically, as far as I know, they isn't correct, so I try to avoid it when I'm writing a paper. Usually, I use he because it sounds much better than he/she, but this year my extremely feminist teacher almost failed me when I did that, so I stopped. What do you use?
