R, I teach a similar course. They have to pass it before their can get their state certification so I understand where you are coming from. I don't have a single suggestion to offer but I can offer that you continue what you are doing and try to generate interest in the content through personal applications. I use role playing and case studies to illustrate the value of the course content. I also play games using the content. The students for the most part really get involved in these activities. There are some I don't reach and for them it is a very long course I would guess. I feel sorry for them in a way because in my college career I found there was always something I could learn from my instructor even if it wasn't in my field. Gary Dr. Gary Meers
