[QUOTE="donner, post: 3236268, member: 277"] i'm curious about the 'most professors have 1 class a week' comment. As someone married to a professor for the past 13 years, i'm trying to remember a time when my wife had that kind of schedule. I think there was once, after negotiating a course release as part of her hiring process, but mostly it's been a 2-2 (two classes each semester). Some places it's a 4-4. That does vary by what else is going on in the department, though. And what grad classes need to be offered, if people need to do independent studies, thesis advising (both undergrad and post grad). But some grad classes do only meet once a week, but usually for three hours or so, IIRC. But then again, she isn't promoted on teaching and spends a good bit of time with office hours, grading, etc. Research is what 'matters' to the higher ups. Pre-tenure it was such that her job depended upon getting publications. Get denied and get fired. Strong motivation to do the things they say matter. So anyway, i'm wondering where the places are that offer the option of only teaching one class. [/QUOTE]
