> My professor reached out to me and other high scorers in the course requesting us to recreate the grading infrastructure as he believes our true grades will never be received from our fired TA.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's asking you to work on grading infrastructure?

Me along with other students who did well on exams + assignments that were graded and given out before the strikes really gained traction.

I hope you kindly email the professor and ask him or her to to their job and grade their course.

I did turn the offer down because I didn't feel comfortable with it. I may not be 100% for this strike, but I would not want to be apart of that. I really appreciate your responses here as it is illuminating many things I hadn't originally considered. The TA's clearly have way too many responsibilities for the pay they receive. I just feel like undergraduates are really getting screwed when there has to be other methods... Of course, I have never considered them so what good is it for me to say that lol.
