<p>Do reviews of TA’s actually matter? Most grad students teach one-two classes during their time there. I don’t know how you would punish a poor TA since they’re not gonna be teaching anymore. And it’s not like their future employments prospects depend on teaching skills.</p>
<p>I had a much more positive experience with the grad students. I think they usually wanted to help us learn the material. I felt most of my classmates always worked hard and the times we really badgered for a solution was because even the TA might’ve agreed that the HW was way too difficult/obscure, etc.</p>
<p>It’s possible office hours from core classes are more like how octal described. I didn’t go to those too often.</p>
