[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the school, the class, the major, and the professor. Typically in college your grade is based more on exams and papers, but some classes may assign homework (frequently long problem sets for science/math classes) or the occasional project. My experience at a SLAC was wildly different from the experience the students I had when I TAed at a large public research institution--the work at the SLAC was more in depth, harder, and less "busywork"(lots of readings; long, challenging problem sets that took me all weekend to do and were not repetitive, but really made me think and took my professor forever to write) whereas it seemed like there was more busywork at the larger school that was less in depth (for example, participation points for showing up and using your clicker in large lectures; more "cookie cutter" type problem sets from a bank of questions; more points for posting responses on blackboard type discussion forums).[/quote]
