Another note:

The absolute WORST disservice a teacher/professor can do to a class is 
gear it towards the least capable students. If the class is too 
challenging you may leave some behind (but those either should seek 
additional help or, as this is now university and more reflective of the 
real world, they SHOULD be left behind). If the class isn't challenging, 
you'll accomplish nothing of any real value by teaching it.
