<p>Globalist, I agree, but not in all cases. Math and English are the only two subjects that are tought by TAs at the intro level at Michigan…and Math majors almost always place out of intro Math and English majors usually place out of intro-English. </p>
<p>All other fields, Econ, Political Science, Psychology, History, Chemistry, Physics, Biololgy etc… are tought by professors as of day 1. </p>
<p>I am sure it is the same at every research university, including UVA.</p>
