Becaaaaaauuuuuse higher education is a joke? :P

Who said the course was a PhD level course? OP is getting a PhD, but might be taking a lower level course to catch up on some missing classwork.

I don't know what a TA is or how phD courses are run in the states, but in Australia, lots of post-grad degrees include some undergrad subjects, for which the tutors may be undergrad students (if that's what a TA is, judging by some of the comments). The post-grad students have tougher assignments than the under-grads taking the same subject though. Throughout my under-grad degree I think about 4 of my subjects were both under-grad and post-grad.

Um, so basically the TA teaching shit that never happened the way they are teaching it is alright? Hell even pulling him/her aside after class doesn't fix the fact they got history wrong. Hell as human beings we are allowed to make mistakes and the TA should have said, "you're right I feel foolish." Embarrassment don't mean you should be allowed to kick someone out of class. Plus if you're older you should have been like, "what's your name? I know your father and I'll tell him what you did."

I'll be working on my PhD at age 22. Shut up.

So... Did you start college at 16 or something? Most people graduate with a bachelor's and get work experience to even be considered for a graduate program... Let alone a Doctoral degree. I think you're full of shit. That, or you're wasting your time in a fake online, non-accredited school.

I go to a middle college charter high school, we enroll in actual college courses, with real college students, on a real college, from 10-12 grades, and can graduate high school with an associate's degree. We can also take courses over the summer, since we are technically already enrolled in college, to get even more college credit. I graduate high school when I am 17, so I can get a 7-year degreee by the time I'm 22, even if I don't take classes over the summer. So shut up, and get your facts straight before you go callin BS

Whether you need work experience to get into a PhD program depends on your field. I started college at 18, finished in 4 years (at 22) then started a PhD program the fall after I got my B.S. So at 22 I was a first year PhD student, it all depends on the field you go into...

Not really- I graduated college at 22 and also started grad school at 22.

Contrary to popular belief, ending sentences in a preposition isn't grammatically incorrect. It's an outdated stylistic "rule" that was introduced to imitate Latin, which never has sentences ending in prepositions. To use linguistic terms, it's a prescriptive rule, not a descriptive rule. Looks like the OP's understanding of grammar exceeds yours after all.

LOL. I think you mean that the other way round. Prescriptive rules are rules that tell you what you should be doing (ie. "prescribe", like prescribing a drug is telling someone what drug to take), while descriptive rules are ones that just describe something that has been done. Also... finishing sentences with a preposition is, technically, grammatically incorrect. I did a journalism degree and one of my lecturers was a total grammar nazi. It's just commonly forgotten.

Actually, the language has no formal "rules", but instead evolves naturally. Plenty of people have tried to put structure on it, resulting in "rules" that are 100% arbitrary, such as "don't end sentences in prepositions" and "don't split infinitives". Both of those are indeed attempts to mold English into Latin, because Latin was considered (wrongly) a "more perfect" language at the time. I also took journalism, years of grammar, and so on. Many of the "rules" I learned turned out to be on no real authority, just conventions passed down from textbook to textbook, without any regard for how the language actually gets used. I can refer you to a large number of books supporting all this, including "The Unfolding of Language", "Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue", "Word On The Street: Debunking the myth of a 'pure' standard english", and so on.

so correcting a teacher, who is giving wrong information to students, was wrong you say? yeah, tell that to the students who could fail with the wrong info damn the op for knowing "shit cuz you're older", damn them! :|

I highly doubt that .

"I would have physically kicked your ass out of my class" Yeah yeah, you're probably one of those fat kids who tries to look badass on the internet because in real life, if you faced any conflict you would squeal and run away. So even if the information is wrong, no one should speak up, because there is some unwritten magical code that getting the wrong information is ok, as long as the person is the teacher/professor/TA? No. Thank God our schools aren't run by people like you, I would be horrified if I had children that were being taught the wrong information, but no one was allowed to speak up about it. When my family moved from New York to New Hampshire, a substitute teacher told my little sisters class that the capital of NY was New York City. Obviously my sister knew this was wrong and corrected her, and the sub got all huffy and mad. If you get angry about being corrected, its because you CANT HANDLE BEING WRONG. You probably are frequently.
