[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it?   Might start teaching Arabic at NVCC on the weekends.  The pay is $3900 for the semester.  It's a five credit class so that I will be getting paid about $240 a week....   What is the workload like? [/quote]

I have been teaching something similar at nvcc for a long time.  The truth is that the workload is what you want it to be.  Good instructors work at least as many hours outside the classroom as in it.  Great instructors might put in twice as many hours outside as in, and much more if it's the first time they've taught a class.  But unfortunately, nvcc doesn't really care if instructors are good, great, or even just bad.  Some people put almost no time into prep and their classes are terrible, and in many departments they will still get classes.  I don't know specifically about Arabic, though.

So overall what I'm saying is, if you want to do a really good job, assume if the class is 5 hours a week that you'll be working at least 15-20 hours a week.  But if you don't care about doing a good job, you could do less.  [/quote]
