Hi,
I am a little bit late with my summary.
Here are three reponses:

a)
For advanced NMR students on the PhD NMR course I run most
of my example spectra are all of 1-dehydrotestosterone - the
majority of signals are well separated ( H17) but there's enough
overlap of the ring signals (H16's, H15's etc) to illustrate the use of
COSY /TOCSY, HMQC/HMBC, and the molecules rigid enough for
good NOESY/ROESY spectra ( 250 - 400 MHz).

b)
 what i have done for our teaching is to go through the Aldrich
catalog and pick 25 compounds..from fairly simple 5 carbon to 15
carbon molecules with enough protons to show connectivity. Most
can be bought in small quantity for $5-10_at_.
Some of the nicer small molecules are:
 - gamma-caprolactone
 - delta-valerolactam
 - gamma-valeolactam
 - proline
 - in the C-10 or so class are
 - butyl nicotinate
 - gamma-terpene
 - menthol
 - 2-(2-propoxytethyl)pyridine
 - trans-cinnamic acid
 - citronellol

c)
Ben Shoulders provided me a pointer to his
hidden treasure. A complete ready to use set
of spectra, very well suited for educational purposes.

With the permission of Ben I prepared a mirror with a
somewhat modified arrangement of the data, which is located
at

BTW: PowerArchiver available from this URL is a very
nice (and free) clone of a very popular packer program.
