Question Preflight inspection

I have been asked to speak to a group of about 50 pilots on the subject of preflight inspections.

My question to you flight instructors is where do you find weakness in pilots preflight inspections?

For example I have found that about 80 to 90 percent of the pilots that come to me for training don't bother to look at any paperwork, maintance inspection, airworthiness cert. registration and the like.

Any tips or techniques that you have found that work exceptually well when coving the inspection, would be a help.

I have been a CFI for about 20 years and have my own ideas, but there is all ways a better mouse trap. Your thoughts are appreaciated!
