Easy : here's a course outline:

      1) Motivation for OOPs (re-use, information hiding, memory management)
      2) The Smalltalk execution model
      3) The Eiffel type system (including proposed checking in future
         releases, to close the existing holes)
      4) Hybrid languages ... C++, Objective C, misc. Pascal extensions
      5) Two small projects - one in Eiffel, the other in Smalltalk

That should keep 'em busy for the term. :-)
