That's an idea floated here and I don't think it is a terrible idea.
I teach three sections of two classes - an introductory Management class and a Supply Chain management class. Here are the enrollments this semester:
Management:
My sections have 45, 43, and 47 students for an average 45 students.
The other sections have: 43, 23, and 27 students for an average of 31 students.
Supply Chain:
My sections have: 34, 35, and 36 students for an average of 35 students.
The other sections have 22, 16, and 11 for an average of 16 students.
Either I should be paid more or I should start being a bad teacher and watch my sections shrink.
Every semester there is a huge gap between the number of students in my sections and the other sections. It was noticed a year ago and rather than investigate what I do differently in the classroom I was checked to see if I'm too generous on grades. I'm not. I don't need any acknowledgement of being a good teacher, but if I'm going to be teaching classes that are 50% to 100% larger than my colleagues I deserve a raise!
