Unless you're retarded, it's probably not that difficult. I took a diffeq class after 4 years without touching calculus and I just re-learned everything in a few days. You probably shouldn't be teaching a calc class anyways if you aren't familiar with real analysis

bro wtf you never learned it in the first place. why are engineers so delusional about their level of knowledge? the baby math they teach engineers so they'll be able to slap together workable electric dildos isn't real math...

if you're hired as an adjunct, there's basically no oversight and you can just not teach anything and let them learn it themselves

As a professor, anything below Calc 2 I can teach with no preparation. Calc 2, 3, diff eq I can pretty much teach just by looking over the homework and skimming the chapter and making a note outline the night before class. Stats I do teach regularly, linear algebra and above I'd need to review in depth before the semester, and I don't teach grad level classes as I have no PhD

It depends on the class
You don't have to freshen up much for intro courses because you generally teach one almost every term
If a prof is teaching a high level topics course which isn't offered regularly, it generally takes quite a lot of work to prepare the lecture notes
