Awesome. Must be nice to have en entire semester! Since the classes I've been teaching are quarterly, I only provide for a week of basic HTML, and dive into CFML right away after that.
The idea is to get the basics of CFML hammered in so that they can create basic web apps and also provide them with enough knowledge to expand and learn more on their own after the class is over. The final project for the class I teach is a web applications of their choice that contains form processing, session variables, and database integration of some sort. If they know those fundamentals, they can easily expand on it in any direction of their (or their employers) choosing.
