Hi Gordon, You make an excellent point about listening to students and then customizing instruction relating to the outcomes of those sessions. This is so important when you have students like your experienced business person. I to have had such students and I make it a point to talk with them and try and determine how I can structure their learning experiences to benefit their career goals. One of them was a downsized CEO of a multi-million dollar company. Talk about experience! He was great to work with and I learned much from him that I still use today in my classes. Gary
