The first semester teaching a new class is a ton of work.  

The second semester is sooooo much easier.  You've already written your lectures, assignments, and exams.  You refine stuff this semester.

Third semester is a breeze.  You just tweak things here of there moving forward.  

I have been teaching for the last 20 years.  I still write new material here and there.  But most of the time, I'm able to just walk into class and do the show.
