TCAS may or may not give RAs, depending on the mode settings! For Class G low level ops, TA is perfectly OK.
IF a student pilot were stupid enough to think he can get away with only looking out for TCAS targets, the sight of his microlight, glider or other non-squawker that passes close by will soon make him change his mind!
