What is the greatest difficulties you face with your adult students?
	--Mine is that I have to get them to work in 90 days or less,
regardless of educational background.

That is a thought provoking question.  During my years as an instructor I
found the greatest challenge was ensuring my instruction met the needs of a
multi-level classroom.  Finding materials that were of interest to adult
learners and at a level that was both challenging for more advanced students
while still applicable to lower level students was the biggest challenge.
In the end I began to use more project based instruction so that all
students could use their skills.
