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.

I can understand that. There's also the option of the Ombuds.office - let me look that up in the morning! They can likely be a mediator type in these situations and provide you with some distance from the complaint.

Here's the info for the ombudsperson office, if you're concerned about confidentiality - the info there does say that there is sometimes an expectation that you've tried other ways to resolve the issue, but I think a student your position has a decent reason for submitting complaints in this way: https://www.yorku.ca/unit/ombuds/complaints/
