...problem sets, which he says take about an hour each, every week he is responsible for preparing for and teaching an hour-long section, attending a weekly TFing meeting, attending three hours of lecture, responding to a deluge of student e-mails, and holding two office hours in the basement of the Science Center helping students debug their programs...
