What lovely TAs you guys are.. you either get pissed off that the student is wrong.. or ENJOY it???

Yeah, because let's either get angry at a student for not understanding the material, or take pleasure in it. Those are some GREAT options. image

There's a reason I said I didn't grade. I ran help sessions. I did pretty gosh darn good too obvisouly. I TAed for 3 different divisions and TAed as a 2nd semester freshman. I TAed 3 classes one semester. As an undergrad. My point was that you shouldn't put us in difficult positions because we know you/are friendly to you. I would often help students outside of assigned hours, which I am not required to do. BECAUSE I never graded I did not get stuck in these situations. One word answers are one word answers - can't argue them. A 3 page lab report? I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
