In my department, one class if you're teaching as instructor of record. Varies if you're just grading. If you're leading discussion sections or labs, then it's the equivalent of 4 hours/week with those students.

Its very tough to say as it will vary from university to university, department to department, class to class, and class section to class section.

 

 

Sometimes you are very involved in teaching and do lectures, sometimes you run labs and host discussions, sometimes you mark essays and need them to fit on a curve, and sometimes all you do is twice a semester, stand by a scantron machine waiting for results.

 

 

There is tremendous variation, and itd be best to speak with the class whom you are taing for, and ask on their expectations.

We don't have to teach classes if we don't want to. We give a few lectures to the PharmD students here and there. On occasion, we'll proctor their stats and research methods exams.
