@Sobex@social.sciences.re would you say that your funding de facto required you to take on some teaching just to make ends meet? If so, could you estimate the number of contact hours (not sure if "TDs" only cover the time spent in class for the tutorial, or also the time spent to prepare for it)?

@foxy So, in my case, not at all, (I'm going to hide my non-representative payslips). I was way better paid than average PhD student, I taught because I liked it (and teaching during the PhD is kind of a requirement to be allowed to apply to a good chunk of faculty jobs). And the hour counting is only student facing, prep time is not accounted for. (Apart from the 1.5 multiplier for lectures, which most PhD student don't ever got to do).
