Pros

The professors are always available if you need help with learning the subject. Class sizes are mostly small so there is not too much grading.

Cons

If you have a large class, grading can be very time consuming. You may be asked to teach a class you know very little about so you have to learn the material quickly so you can answer undergrads questions.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
