TA's

I think it's ridiculous that you if you take your courses online, your fate is completely in the hands of a TA. I pay money to have a professor instruct me and in this case I expect to have access to lectures online. However, in my 4 years at SFU I've had access in one course only. My warning to anyone, do not take an online course TA'd by Mitch MacDonald. I've never had an issue until now. I've been pretty lucky to have ok TA's and at times really decent ones. There needs to be a rate your TA site somewhere!

  • Hmm which course are you taking? If you don’t mind me asking.
  • Also, this is why I hate online courses. TAs are hit or miss. I did an online course (GSWS 101) and the TA was extremely lazy, which was super annoying and delayed a lot of things.
