<p>Large intro classes at UW are not taught by TAs. Most are taught by faculty with the TAs heading the small discussion section of 20 or so. All the intro to econ level classes are done that way. Econ majors are encouraged to take the intro class Econ 111. Quite challenging and taught by former teacher of the year as a grad student/TA at Penn and "

<p>What TA’s do teach are the small intro to communications and lower level (100s) math classes and intro to foreign language classes-- so they can keep class size down to 20-25 so there is individual attention in these basic classes.</p>
