[quote=Anonymous]The real question is whether the instructor is in the first year or two of teaching or not. I'm a prof. I definitely got better by my eighth or tenth class. The first three of those were as a PhD student and the next ones were as an assistant professor. It also depends on the school. Some universities have good, strong TA onboarding and training. They use materials created by professors. They teach some individual class sessions before they have their own class. And have small enrollments their first couple of times teaching. In other universities, though, TAs can have less training and more discretion so their performance can be quite mixed. [/quote]
