Dean Jones says:

"Yes, that is possible.  You can use exclusively multiple-choice exams.  And, while the upcoming semester's schedule is fixed, in subsequent semesters you could teach one combined section with a much larger enrollment.  Will that accommodate your needs? 

Here is the new contract package I'd like to offer you:

**TWO guaranteed trips to conferences each year for two years

**$1,000 for software to analyze data

**$10,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 61.5 percentile

**Required to teach two summer sessions, none of which count toward your teaching load

**Three-days-a-week teaching schedule for the upcoming semester.  Two-days-a-week teaching schedule for the immediate two years thereafter with one combined section and the use of multiple-choice exams.

How will you respond?

1.   That offer sounds acceptable...I accept.

2.   Raise my salary to the 68th percentile -- which will cover my moving and resettlement expenses -- and you've got yourself a deal.

3.   Raise my software allowance to $1,200 -- which is the updated price for the software I will need -- and you've got yourself a deal.
