A problem-oriented, social modeling framework, iStar provides the possibility to capture intentions of stakeholders in an early phase of a require- ments engineering process, in contrast to more system-oriented techniques such as UML. In addition to its ability to work with multiple levels of abstraction, the richness of iStar notation makes it as an important framework to instruct students from a wide variety of degree programs and technical backgrounds in requirements engineering. In this paper we present examples used to instruct various cohorts found through teaching six years of bachelor's and master's level requirements engineering courses: approximately 1200 students. Experi- ences from both group projects and course examinations are presented, as well as used to discuss lessons learned.
