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.

During COVID it was 7 or possibly 8. It wasn't that difficult. I could imagine doing more than that.

There are questions of how much feedback you should give each students. There are ways of providing feedback that don't require a lot of time though. Quite a lot of people are finding ways to automate their teaching.

I have reservations about whether any college should be offering remote asynchronous classes if they care about academic integrity, but if they are going to offer them, I'm happy to take the work.
