@Sue22 -

Profs at LACs usually have TA’s but they don’t teach. My work as a TA was more along the lines of retrieving books from the library or searching a work for references to a certain author. The TA’s I knew at my LAC didn’t correct student work unless it was the rare multiple choice quiz.

Yep, agreed. I TA’d a couple classes when I was at Williams, and I was really just an assistant for the prof. I didn’t grade or teach, I just helped him out with stuff. Good gig.
