$5000 - 25% federal + stat tax = $3750
16 week semester, that's $234/week after taxes

How many hours in the week for a University lecturer:

3 hours / week in the classroom
6 hours / week preparing & reviewing lecture
3 office hours / week
2 hours / week writing homework assignments
1 hour / week grading homeworks w/ graders or reviewing grades
1 hour / week (prorated) writing exams
1 hour / week (prorated) grading exams w/ grader & TA
3 hours / week answering email from students
1 hours / week supervision of TA & grader
1 hour / week general administrative duties
-------------------------------------------
22 hour/week
Indeed it's a half time job (50% appointment, essentially).
So now, $234/week after taxes makes $10.60/hour.  
Interesting.  That's about a buck fifty per hour more than a janitor
makes elsewhere in Boston:

Yes, but it is about three times what we pay;-( 

Also, if you prorate it X 8  (we teach 4 classes per semester) it
comes out to about 40k per year, which I suspect is higher than our
starting salaries.  But in that case the hours may not add up if you
are lucky enough to have multiple sections of the same course.
