Description
“Three Points of View on Teaching Assistants.” The Alcalde March/April 1976, pp. 10-15, 44-45.
Three articles by Sledd, Lieb (Director, Center for Teaching Effectiveness), and Rush (president, Union of Graduate Student Workers).
Sledd focuses on the English Department, criticizing their treatment of TAs, their privileging of research over teaching, and their handling of 398T, the practicum for new teachers. Lieb’s article defends the TA program at UT, 398T especially, and argues that the research mission at the university does not hinder the teaching mission. Rush argues that TAs are dedicated and skillful teachers, but they’re exploited.
