I am only in my freshman year and overall the professors have been good. Some were great, others not so, but the ones I seemed not to like are teaching classes that the material isn’t that interesting so that might have something to do with it. Only two of my classes have had TAs but I’m not in the large science classes that I know all do. Just my large psych classes have had them, and they just run review sessions and grade. The professor still teach. The profs are very accessible. On almost every syllabus office hours are listed along with the option of making an appointment. I have been to several of my profs offices and it is very helpful. Having grad students on campus I think helped at least me get into research. My psych lab has one professor and around five grad students, each doing their own project. Each of the grad students need undergrad help, so there is a lot more people and a lot more going on in the lab than if it was just the one prof doing one study. Hope this helps.
