Contractual Challenges in Academia
A university professor hires a graduate student as a teaching assistant (TA). The contract specifies the TA's duties, including leading weekly discussion sections. The professor observes that while the TA covers all the required material, their teaching style is unenthusiastic and they fail to foster a dynamic and engaging learning environment for the undergraduate students. The professor is hesitant to include a contract clause that ties a bonus to 'being an engaging and enthusiastic instructor.' Based on the principles of contract design, explain why the professor's observation about the TA's teaching style is considered non-verifiable information and what problem this creates for writing a complete contract.
