DAVID E, I think the model you are using is a good one. I would look at incorporating activities such as case studies into the course if 90% of your students say they want to go into business for themselves. This is common but often the students do not have a realistic idea of what it takes to start and run a business. I have started a number of businesses and I can tell you as you already know it is a lot of hard work and takes a lot of time. Through case studies students can develop a feel for running a business as well as creating business plans. Going through something like this will either get them on board in terms of starting their own business or direct them to other opportunities. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
