LOL. I totally didn't think of that.
One ironic thing about my literary studies was that the literature T.A.s, who were grad students, were far more closed minded and opposed to free thinking than the professors. Three times, I received "C"s on my first paper, to jump to an "A" on my second... simply by listening to the T.A.'s "opinion" on my topic. Guess who graded the papers!
Just for clarification, the "College Science Fiction class" (
not taught by a T.A.!) was meant as a reference or a citation, not as a shutdown or argument winner. I figured that was better than saying "I heard somewhere that Heinlein did something!"
And you can bet I wasn't about to go to Wikipedia, which somewhere in the back of my mind I've always thought was edited by Literature T.A.s.
