Hi,
To answer the original question...
I teach at TYC and have a 9 month contract. I have
a requirement of 16 contact hours, teaching a total of
about 40 to 80 students per term. I prep my own labs,
although we have PT lab manager who keeps the lab
organized.
Am I happy/satisfied? Yes, sure. My feeling is your
level of satisfaction depends highly upon your relationship
with your immediate administration. My Dean is not perfect
(he ALWAYS seems to have me teaching 4 hours in a row somehow,
5 days a week), but his heart in the right place. He doesn't
always give me what I want, but I think his decisions always take
the students' education into account. In the short time I've
been here, I've gotten two grants from the college, one to
upgrade labs and another to do an formal study of some PER stuff.
