[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Profs develop the courses, read widely, are active researchers, have deep expertise from both PhD and time spent working in the field. If they are active researchers, they need to keep up with current practice. They have a network and will likely be working at the school and in the field for a long time and thus can be tapped for future references/advice/network support.[/quote] TA's are usually teaching the lower level courses that are cookie-cutter and standard across the department. Most of the content has been determined by the professors ahead of time. So a class isn't lacking just because it's taught by a TA. Some TA's are younger and relate more to the undergrads. However, professors have more experience in teaching and managing a class, so in that way they may be better. [/quote]
