1.  Make it one summer session for my first year -- and have it count toward my nine-month teaching load -- and you've got yourself a deal.

2.  How can I publish research if I'm teaching most of the summer?  Make it one summer session for my first year, and you've got yourself a deal.

3.  Make it two summer sessions for my first year -- and have one count toward my nine-month teaching load -- and you've got yourself a deal.

4.  How can I publish if I'm teaching most of the summer?  Make it two summer sessions for my first year, and you've got yourself a deal.
