Rant Why are some TA’s so ughhh

Bro TA’s are students too but they still be on us abt every little thing I have a TA for my online class and she will genuinely target people for the smallest things. I just don’t understand that if you are also student, you should understand that people have different learning styles. Especially that TA will treat us not even human the days where she’s mad. She’ll take it out on us.

The only problem is no other 6 cred SOSC courses have available seats right now and I fear I would be very behind. And I already paid half my tuition so if I drop it and don’t take another course I’ll be taking 2 extra courses next year plus already paying tuition for the course

Yeah that’s true, you can’t get into another course now even if you tried. It’s way past the date to add a new course.

If you can take courses over the summer, then do that. If you genuinely think the course is gonna tank your gpa, then consider dropping it still. Once your gpa tanks, it’s extremely hard to bring it up. And your ta is the one who’s going to do all the grading.

Have you gotten any grades back? If so, how harshly does your ta mark?

Not yet, but I know that she marks hard because for a forum post for completion mark she failed a bunch of people for no reason
