<p>Anyone do this before?</p>
<p>I would have the same lecture professor but a different TA for discussion classes. I missed 2 quizzes and 2 homeworks already in my discussion class, which will be around 3% of my grade already, making it really really difficult to end up with an A+.</p>
<p>Will this even work? Are grades held in a central database for all of the professor's classes, so then they'll know the grades I had from the other section?</p>
<p>It depends on your school and class, but I don’t think switching TAs will wipe your grade slate clean. You’ll retain the same grades you had in the previous section. I could be wrong, so double check with your school.</p>
<p>How about facing the problem instead of avoiding it? Stop missing quizzes/homeworks. If you did switch your old grades would either transfer over or you would get zeros for them since the new TA would have no record of them. Also, at least from my experience, one or two of the lowest quiz grades are dropped at the end.</p>
<p>College is about more than grades. RavensFan is right. Just face the problem that got you off to a rough start, fix it, and continue in the class. You might not get an A+ but could still get a very good grade.</p>
