Whenever you bring him a rough draft. he always says you need to change the whole paper or its main idea even though he says it's a good paper. So dont spend a ton of time on first drafts, save the effort for revision.",

Also, don't really learn much so if you want to improve in your writing/are looking to get help with it I would go with another TA.",
