<p>does uva have TAs and do they teach the class like ucla? or do teachers actually teach? are there any 300+ classes?</p>
<p>yes UVA has TAs like most other universities. I don't know how professors "teach" at UCLA so I can't answer that question. Professors do actually conduct the lectures for the most part if that's what you mean by teach. Only the intro classes are 300+ but most of them have TA sections that you attend once a week for discussion of lecture.</p>
<p>lots of grad students are required to teach so chances are your calc 1 teacher will be an incompetent 'TA' of sorts. though im sure there are some good ones... you should be more worried about how many eschool/science/math teachers do not speak english as a first language... if you get my drift.</p>
