Just as a by the by: some of the best teachers I've ever had have been graduate student TAs. Undergraduate TAs mostly suck balls.

I can see that being generally true. Undergrad TA's probably get annoyed dealing with undergrad students.

Also is this a major specific class or is it a gen. ed/elective. Some schools have a surprising amount of classes available to take online. Convenient if you just need the elective credit and don't care much about the subject matter.

Well, its a gen ed. And the only history I like, is like ancient history. And classical history (Greek, Rome) classes were full, so this was the only one I could sign up for.

Yeah then I'd say drop it, put it off till next semester and try to get a class you want to take, esp. since its just a gen ed. Ask around towards the end of this semester and see what profs are good, aim for those classes.
17 hours can be a bit much depending on the classes you're taking, I aim for 15-16. But again it depends on the classes and any labs. What's your major?
