Introductory Courses and the Teaching Assistant.
Rippetoe, Joseph K.; Peters, George R.
Improving College and University Teaching, v27 n1 p20-24 Win 1979
This study of the influence of graduate teaching assistants upon student reactions to introductory sociology focuses on two questions: (1) Does the graduate teaching assistant influence student satisfaction with the sociology course as a whole? and (2) Do students feel they derive the essence of the course from the lecture or the small discussion section?
