Considering that you are probably being paid 10-20 hours a week to teach, I ask you to consider adding up all of the time you spend working. That includes answering questions, e-mails, grading, recording grades, meeting with students, preparing tests and quizzes, reviewing essays, answering your office phone, planning classes, teaching classes, researching teaching methods, going to teacher meetings, etc.
If it adds up to more than the amount of time you're being paid, demand better conditions!
Large class sizes mean more work for you and less time for each student....although that doesn't mean that each student won't demand access to your time. Classrooms with little to no technology increase your prep time because you have to print out overheads and prepare lectures that work around the lack of connectivity. You're stressed out enough as it is with your own graduate classes. Shouldn't the university try to make your teaching as 'world-class' as possible?
