Professors in my department don't even have that load. No wonder if takes humanities students so long to graduate. That must be awful - not the teaching itself (I love teaching), but the large, constant teaching burden on top of research.

That's common in state universities. Some TAs at the University of Arizona teach 4 sections. (each once a week)

I hope that they get a handsome reward (in $$) from the university for that.
