Depends, if the TA is someone who has been working toward his Masters for 6 years, and is still stressed and not even coming close to getting it! then you are going to have a very hard time (that is most the case!!!)</p>
<p>and rarely! very rarely, you get someone who excels in what he does and is a TA who just wants to make a few $$$ for a drink on a saturday night, then you are in luck! because he'll be extremely helpful!</p>
