Planning Time

How much time should the instructor put in per week on planning for the class?

Ronald,
Good question but one that is difficult to answer. It depends on the nature of the course and how it is structured and if you are familiar with the content or not. I recently was assigned to design and teach a new content course. My prep time for that course was about 3 hours for each contact hour. This was needed because I had to design and develop the lectures, projects and activities. Next time I teach this course the prep time is going to go way down since I know what to expect as I move through the course.
