Sep 20, 2012 at 1:58 comment added user21349 Speaking only for myself, if I was taking a 10-week course and this was all that was covered, then you would not be keeping my attention simply because the material doesn't seem like enough to fill a 10-week course. This gets back to stankewicz's question about whether your students are weak or strong at this material.

Sep 19, 2012 at 21:00 comment added stankewicz How big is the course? Why are your students taking the course? What are your students interested in? Based on their homework, what do they seem to be weak or strong in? What makes you say that you're not keeping their attention: is it that they are too chatty or that they are silent and unresponsive? If you're teaching face-to-face, your best bet is to start troubleshooting and you have an awful lot of ways to to find out what could be improved.
