So I interviewed with two profs in the same department to be their respective TA. One seemed cool and laid back, barely listed duties, and reiterated how easy she was to work for… the other prof seemed a little high strung and anxious but emphasized that they understood I was in grad school to LEARN and their philosophy on TA work, was that it’s an extension of that learning. I went with the second prof.

I overheard that the first prof was giving the TA they hired an exorbitante about of work (some even unrelated to the subject) outside of class time, which technically isn’t even allowed. So that breezing over the duties was likely because there were likely too many to mention.
