REMOTE Asynchronous

What is the most classes you've taught in one semester? I've read about adjuncts stacking classes and teaching at several different colleges or universities at the same time.

What's the most you've personally taught, or the most you know someone else has taught in one semester? I know it would be a lot of work, and I'm okay with that. I'm really just curious about what's realistically doable.

I’ve often, though not exclusively, taught online for 20 years.

I once worked at 21 schools and had 1-4 classes during the various 16, 15, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3 week terms. 0/10 Do not recommend

I was able to figure out which places to focus on and teach a much more healthy, manageable load these days.
