...often based in part on the world-class reputation of the faculty. Yet enormous power over the Harvard classroom experience is normally wielded to the graduate students and other community members who lead discussion sections as teaching fellows. With TFs ranging from the lively and dedicated to the sullen and non-English-speaking, some students feel that the choice of a TF can have even more influence over their overall satisfaction—and grade—than the professor...
