<p>mcat2,
She actually had a good TA, so at least she’s done well generally and the problem is just the final. Truthfully, she’s been uncharacteristically on edge about tests this semester. I think she’s just taken too much on (heavy class load, EMT training, etc.) and hasn’t been able to spend as much time as usual studying for exams and as a result feels under prepared going into them. This next semester should be better, I hope!</p>
<p>I agree that TAs can make a big difference, and there is often a wide range in teaching abilities in the same course unfortunately.</p>
