My department's tentative class schedule for academic year 2005-06 just came out.
Every year, in early fall, the department circulates a class list, and asks us for our preferences. This year, procrastinator that I am, I neglected to submit my preferences. Nonetheless, things worked out well enough.
Of course, the really interesting classes to teach are the upper-level ones. But departmental funding depends on SCHs (student credit hours), and so the service courses - general education, and widely needed courses like calculus - are really our bread and butter. Everyone has to teach at least one calculus course per year (and they're usually multi-section courses, so the SCHs can pile up). So, here's what I wound up with.

Overall, it looks pretty good, I think.
