Yeah, that's one scenario that occurred to me belatedly. As my friend Andrew said, nobody LIKES teaching calculus. It's something that has to be done before you can do the fun stuff with students. So, ideally, professors can spend the time they're NOT lecturing on the basics doing more interesting teaching with smaller groups of students.
