Hi Michael,
Good question but tough to answer. I base my course selection on what is the "common knowledge base" for the course. That is when a student finishes a course like mine what is the expected knowledge base for that course? I also look at the requirements of my college. After that it is a selection process on my part. I know I have to leave some things out though I try to peak my students' interest in those topics in case they might want to explore them in the future. It is not easy but it is necessary if I am going to create a well organized and focused course.
