I Don't Know Either

You are a TA in Intro to Economics. A student asks whether the US Federal Reserve has ever used negative interest rates. You are not fully sure of the exact answer. Your goal is to acknowledge uncertainty, connect to what you do know, and offer a concrete path to verify.

Objective

Handling Questions Beyond Your Knowledge

Be transparent about uncertainty, connect to relevant knowledge, and provide a concrete way to find the answer.

Success criteria: The ITA avoids making up facts, clearly states uncertainty, adds relevant context they do know, and gives a practical next step for verification.

Example Phrases
  • That is a good question. I am not fully sure about the US case and do not want to guess.
  • I do know some countries tested negative rates, but I want to confirm US details.
  • Best next step is checking the Federal Reserve site or asking the professor; I can follow up next section.
