Brewster's approach is a really strong one, and I plan to steal it as well. Many of the accounting students I've met who have already had experiences interning or working in accounting firms seem to absolutely recognize the value in the project much more than others.

I have two idea: Lem Brewster, who teachers in the communications studies department and also in media relations, tells his students that in work, they'll likely be asked to give quick status reports, summarizing their progress on a project. He says it is important that these presentations be poised, concise, engaging--that managers judge a lot about employees by these quick, semi-formal presentations. I totally stole this from him, and repeated it to every class since then. You really described this issue well. I have two idea:
