	+1 Antonia  [More info] Hello MrP! Sorry for not providing the context in the first place. Here it is: Seeing the results and critical attitudes of my students, as well as realizing that required reading is not fully in accordance with their interests but on the contrary, that it represents a tedious task, I decided to bring certain changes to (its) the presentation and interpretation of required reading.

	+1 MrPedantic  [More info] Hello Antonia I'm not sure it's quite the meaning you want. If I say 'that isn't in accordance with my interests', it has a sense of 'financial interests', or 'things which benefit me materially'. But here, I think your meaning is 'required reading doesn't interest them'. Is that the case? MrP  MrPedantic

You know I'm not a native, but I don't think interests can be followed        pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!

	+1 Antonia  [More info] Hi Pieanne, Thank you for your suggestion. I'm looking for something similar, because it is often repeated in the text and in different contexts. I think I'll be able to use your suggestion in some contexts. Antonia
