All that says is that for the course that YOU TA, the exam is the same.
I TA'd a course too, and the exam is different.
As we've already established, it depends on the professor. Possibly also on the number of students writing a deferred exam. |

Goes without saying. As well, T.A. do not mark deferred exams (I was special). So, I have to question your credibility. I doubt you were ever a T.A. |

Your argument states that you were special and marked a deferred exam because of it, thus allowing you to comment on the procedure your professor used. You questioned starfish's credibility because her post implies that she was familiar with the procedure her professor used. However, that doesn't necessarily follow as she may also have been in the unique situation you were in, thus preserving her credibility as a TA and providing her with the experience necessary to comment on this protocol

Whether or not TAs mark deferred exams depends on a number of factors, not just how "special" the TA is.
I did not claim to mark the deferred exams for the course I TA'd...they were "marked" by scantron, actually. That doesn't mean I don't know whether or not they're the same questions. |

I did not lie. You made an assumption (that I marked the deferred exams) and it was wrong. I'm sorry you're upset about that. |
