<p>153fish, your point about credit hours taught vs classes taught is certainly relevant, but it does not apply to the purposes of this discussion. The comparison on this thread was for classes, not credits, taught by TAs. At NU, it is 2% while at Michigan, it is 3%. That’s fair, don’t you think? If NU had a statistic for both classes and credit hours taught, only then would credit hours taught by TAs at Michigan be relevant. The fact is, we do not know how many credit hours were taught by TAs at NU, only the percentage of classes.</p>
<p>Also, I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that TAs are teaching more at Michigan now than they were 5 years ago. Do you have proof of this? If so, please share an official link from the university that demonstrates it.</p>
