How much teaching experience would you recommend in grad school to be competitive at R1-R3 universities? I am currently teaching one course, but I didn't know if another one or two would be helpful.
The one issue that I have is that teaching would take away time from pubs, but I am pretty comfortable with my research experience (have grant funding and a good amount of high-quality pubs), and not as comfortable with my teaching experience.
Also, are online courses (at a local university, not shady online universities) frowned upon? I was given the option to teach another semester of the course I am currently teaching face-to-face online (but could ask for face-to-face if that's better), and was thinking online might be a good experience.
And finally, would you recommend variety (teaching several different courses)? I am currently teaching research methods and it would be easiest to keep teaching the same course, but I didn't know if I needed experience with more courses (I heard stats and intro are good ones to have under your belt)
