> Ones offered by legitimate universities, that require bachelors to take ~12-18 credit hours of liberal arts courses. I see. That's rather a peculiarity of the American system, in Europe, higher ed is more specialized and broad, general liberal arts education ends at the high school level. > But it never actually took the time to train, or grade us on the quality of our solutions to those assignments. I've worked as a teaching assistant, and it's often due to a lack of staffing and time. TA's are most of the time also PhD students and they have projects to work on and papers to write and giving detailed feedback on assignments is infeasible beyond a certain number of submissions. The same with exams. They are optimized to be easy to unambiguously grade in the shortest time possible. There's a conflict between two roles of the university: research and teaching. Research is more important for one's advancement, so teaching gets neglected.
