Maybe it is just me, but I don’t see why TAs are necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, for most courses where TAs are present, you get two instructors (the faculty member and the TA), who may provide two different ways of explaining something that may help in understanding the material.

Of course, whether a given course is taught well is likely to be highly specific to the course, department policy, and instructor(s) teaching the course.
