@qodex You’re teaching a 3-credit class in about 100 hours, including class time, prep, grading, etc? Either you are extraordinarily gifted, or you are doing a very poor job. When do you find time to read and analyze the textbook and supplemental materials, develop assignments and exams, outline your lectures and prepare visual aids, grade with meaningful feedback and hold office hours?
There are classes that I’ve taught many times over the past 25 years, and most still require over 250 hours of my time, depending upon how long since I last taught it, how many students, whether there is a new textbook, etc. A new course or a graduate course (which require updating to be current) may require twice that.
