Solid State Physics, specifically magnetism, to our level three students. It does help that magnetic materials is what I have been doing research in for the last decade and a half, so the material at least is quite familiar to me. On the other hand, sometimes there is such a thing as being too familiar with a subject, so that you have forgotten that some of the more fundamental bits aren't actually obvious to the students...
We used to have 8am lectures when I was a student; I really pity the poor lecturer who had to give them! My students are a nice bunch, and a good number of them were actually already in the lecture theatre at quarter to nine -- on Friday morning! That meant I got to have a bit of a chat with them, and some of them asked me some questions, which is always a nice feeling, when you can answer them...
