[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is common at public colleges, uncommon at private.[/quote]

Agree. DC is at private. All classes taught by professor. I’ve never heard DC mention “TA” ever in three years. Classes are in person, and many are also recorded so they can re-watch which is great for midterms and finals. If anything is online, it is hybrid as an option. DC has received emails congratulations on performance on midterm from one professor, positive feedback on their writing from another professor, and has received career advice from another. Yeah but private “isn’t worth it” lol.  [/quote]

I'm a professor.  My TAs are better and more attentive teachers than I am because they're not stretched so thin.  Don't sell the grad students short: a PhD candidate already has a lot more education and experience than many people do, and certainly a lot more than an undergrad.  The grad students work _hard_ for very little compensation.  They deserve a little respect.[/quote]

Sure, that may be true. But I know that as a TA, despite being focused and hard-working, I was a worse teacher than the professors I had at my small college.[/quote]
