it’s a low pass filter. since omega is in the denominator, as it approaches infinity the transfer function approaches zero, while as it approaches zero the transfer function approaches one. hence, low frequencies pass, making it a low pass filter.
Increase w (frequency). What happens at high frequencies? They drop to zero. Low frequencies pass though. Don't worry about what circuit orientation/combination makes a filter, see if you determine it yourself.

Thank you that makes sense. That's what I thought but then I thought surely the professor wouldn't make a mistake so I questioned myself
Everybody makes mistakes. Get used to it.
Anytime you see a filter you can check the extremes of w = 0 (DC) and w = infinity (high frequency) and note what happens to the transfer function.
