[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think LAC claims of "only being taught by professors" is nonsense. Who cares? I'd rather be taught by active, impressive researchers pushing the bounds of their field even if they are grad students. Why would I want some professor who couldn't get a tenure job at an R1 to teach me?[/quote] Grad students are learning how to be scientists . They are not scientists yet, and besides circumscribed techniques…cannot train other scientists. [/quote] You can get a teaching assistant position at my DC's undergrad your second semester of freshman year. Many students then move on and continue holding their own office hours and lectures independent of the professor after that. This is a recognized job at the college, and you need these experiences to get into a grad program. Many students teach before entering a PhD program, and, honestly, if you can get into Berkeley PhD in Physics, you can teach an undergrad intro to e&m.[/quote]
