Teaching 180 18 year olds math in the same room, at the same time? How much does that cost?

• yaks_hairbrush 16y ago
  Let's see... in tuition, the students paid collectively over $300,000. Between me and the two TAs who were grading and doing discussion sessions under me, about $60,000 was spent on teaching for the class (the $60,000 figure includes the graduate student tuition waivers and our health benefits).

    Is that $300K their collective annual tuition or the amount paid for the credit hours for the course?

      Just for the precalculus course.

      180 students for a single term can get over 5 million USD pretty easily in the US.
