A student comes to your office hours and asks you to explain a section of the text that you did not understand.
They ask for feedback on how to apply this to a complex theory you have never heard of and if this would make a good essay topic.
How do you proceed?

Slowly push their chair into the hall and shut the door while maintaining eye contact

Admit you don't know and suggest they reach out to the professor

Explain the guidelines of the project more clearly and reference a different section of text that you're more familiar with as an example

Google the theory while they sit there and advise them against using it for this particular project
