If I was the student, I'd just ask "Are you sure you're qualified to be teaching this class?"

I bet Mrs. Helen wishes she had a "Phone a Friend" option like on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

C) and D) are both cop-outs. The student deserves a real response, not avoidance.

B) is a terrible idea. Guessing the answer when you don't know it is just misleading.

E) is also a good option. Admitting you don't know and moving on keeps the lecture on track.

I feel like E is a bit odd since it combines admitting she doesn't know with continuing the lecture. That seems dismissive.

I practiced a similar question, and I think ignoring the question like in C would definitely not be professional.

I'm not sure, but I feel like making an educated guess could lead to confusion. Maybe B isn't the right way to go?

I remember we discussed the importance of admitting when you don't know something, so I think A might be the best choice.

I'm leaning towards A or E. Admitting she doesn't know, but then continuing the lecture, seems like the best balance of honesty and keeping the class on track.

I feel pretty confident that A is the right answer here. Admitting you don't know something is way better than guessing or brushing off the question. That shows respect for the students.

Definitely option A. Ignoring the question or telling the student it's not relevant would be really unprofessional. Owning up to not knowing the answer is the mature way to handle it.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if admitting she doesn't know is the right call, or if she should try to make an educated guess instead. I'll have to think it through more.
