nope, 9.7 +/- .5 deffinately includes 9.8

You left out your units. I'm surprised you got even that much credit.

So I've been working so hard this quarter with great results.
So far, getting all As.

But my Physics TA is... a dick.
Not only is he MEAN, he makes it seem like "oh it's so easy you should be fine" and then takes off so many points. It was the easiest lab (calculating acceleration/gravity) and I got a 60. We're way past this in class and I got all 100s on my quizzes in class that are hard compared to the lab.

What should I do?
The only section I can transfer to is another one of his. The other TA is fair in comparison, but oh well?

Just wait till you actually get into medical school and rotate on surgery. You will have a whole new appreciation of "dick"... erh "mean".

So he expects a lot. Assuming the class average isn't <75%, I'm going with you have a bad attitude -- especially when you use that sort of language to describe someone. The fact that you got a 60 on "the easiest lab" tells me you're missing something and incredibly lacking in self-awareness. Perhaps, you should sit down and talk to this "D*CK TA" as he may have some suggestions for you. If that doesn't work, after talking with the TA, you could sit down with the professor and the TA together and problem solve.
