Hi Theresa,
It is a small world. By this I mean they want to see if they can get another teacher and after they have dropped to come back later and then they find you are their instructor. Surprise! Same course, same requirements. They are going to have to do the work, period.
I teach a core course and I work hard to help them be successful but if they are not willing to put forth the effort then they won't be successful. A simple fact they have to grasp somewhere in their education if they are going to achieve their career goals.
