from the comments: As to preparation, I simply don't. The school gives me a syllabus which I simultaneously review as I go over it with the class. The first week we sit around and chat about stuff. This ensures that no one drops the class -- an important consideration when you're paid by the enrolled student. I eventually get around to checking the required textbook on Amazon to see if it's worth getting to sell back and pocket the money. If you're really lucky, you can just find the textbook sales rep and let them know you're developing a course. They will send you a dozen books for free! In several instances, I was paid more for selling back the textbooks than for teaching the class. Sweet! For all the faculty and administrators who are shocked and think any of this is unethical, take a good long hard look in the mirror. You create the conditions. You create the incentive system. You profit from it. You give no sick days. You provide no health care. You provide no job stability. You got *exactly* what you paid for, and no more. Congratulations on your excellent low-cost management practices. The 1% would be proud.
