This article repeats Sledd’s charge that TAs are not properly trained or qualified to teach the courses assigned to them, quoting from Sledd’s survey of TAs.

The article also reports two surveys of undergraduates, conducted by the Division of Teaching Effectiveness (June 1975) and the Measurement and Evaluation Center (spring 1975) are quoted, offering disparate assessments of E 306, one praising the course, one not.

Hairston and Sledd are quoted.
