Sounds even worse! I understood that some of the time would be for student orientated stuff but didn't think it would take up the whole day!

Office hours are normally one or two a day. Any time left over from the forty counts as prep hours, which you would normally do at home.

Some places do insist on people being on site for eight hours. That's why you get so many posts to Dave's

18 credit hours, or, 15 teaching hours. (not ESL)

With all the quizzes, exams, and the resulting marking, I would never teach more than that.

And 30 is just crazy for a 'university'. That's for primary/secondary schools, but typically even lower, about 26-28.

I had 8 contact hours at my full time job in Japan

20 is a lot and 30 is just crazy

I wouldn't want anything over 20 normally

Hi,

We are teaching 25 hours a week at Princess Noura now with almost no resources at the moment but can see the light at the end of the tunnel because of so many complaints filed to the Uni.

Things are starting to move now.... more photocopiers, books, substitute teachers doing activities and less teaching hours, because of high turnover.

Hopefully things will keep improving

Regards,
Linda
