Lies that TAs tell students:

  1. I'm not going to grant any extensions.

  2. Call me or email me any time. I'm always available.

  3. It doesn't matter what I, or the professor, think. Write what you believe.

  4. Think of the midterm as a diagnostic tool.

  5. My other section is much better prepared than you guys.

  6. My other section is much worse than you guys.

  7. It's imperative you do the reading to get a good grade in this course.

  8. When grading, we're not concerned about grammar and style; it's the message that counts.

  9. I'm not attracted to you.

  10. You don't need to email me about your grade; I'll get it back to you on Monday.

  11. My office is easy to find.

  12. I have a great interest TAing in this subject and I had many options to chose from.

  13. Everything I say is correct and you should believe all that I say.
