negotiation

vagueness

motivation

contextualization

This is an example of vagueness.

Explanation:

Vagueness happens in communication when the receiver of the message cannot fully understand what the message means or to what it refers. That means that the way the message was structured or the language used were imprecise or unclear. Vagueness usually happens unintentionally, but it can hinder communication greatly.

That can mean one of them will do better than the other, in case his/her ideas coincide with the professor's.
