<p>Is there any way to tell who teaches which section of Introduction to Fiction and Poetry? The same professor is listed as teaching concomitant sections. One section is on waitlist only; does that mean that the professor is teaching that one and the others are taught by grad students?
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>No, you don’t know who teaches which section until first day of classes start. IFP is not hard at all so you shouldn’t worry. There’s a weekly assignment (1-2 pages) that doesn’t count much towards your grade and one final portfolio that’s like 90% of your grade. Most students actually prefer grad student TA’s cause they are really chill and don’t use up the entire class time so you can get out early. Also, there’s two types of people who take IFP: the 10% who are writing sems majors or humanities majors and take it really seriously and the other 90% who are only taking IFP because it serves as both a W and H credit. If you are in that 90%, I suggest you ask around the first week of class to see which section has a really easy/chill TA and switch to that section because your life will be a little easier lol.</p>
<p>Thanks, Osprey. Haha- in the 10% - don’t want a chill TA - want a teacher who will really improve writing!</p>
