I share your challenge teaching a varied audience. I teach advancing a fix to a dr first (most 'get' this immediately from prior work), then advancing the lop components of the fix to the dr (wow -- its the same!) then show how one can advance a single lop to cross a newer one for an rfix. seems to work for most people. doing the actual plotting by hand in the class seems to make the penny drop, doing and showing are too different for just showing to work for most people.
