| Nov 9, 2011 at 17:49 | comment | added | J W | I'll post this as a comment rather than an answer, but Joseph Gallian has some recommendations and a short list of pros and cons in his Advice on Giving a Good PowerPoint Presentation (d.umn.edu/~jgallian/goodPPtalk.pdf). Might be of interest. | |

| Nov 6, 2011 at 14:20 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | There are no rules, only guidelines. I encourage you to join meta where you'll find that we debate them quite often (and whinge about exactly the point that you've just made). | |
| Nov 6, 2011 at 12:39 | comment | added | Gordon Royle | @Andrew - I won't... just amused by the erratic application of the "rules" about questions that are not research-level mathematics questions (e.g. "Most memorable title"). The fact that this question and similar soft-questions get many upvotes and participation from great mathematicians such as Terry Tao, might perhaps lead to some introspection about whether the rules are too rigid. But I'm not going to get evangelical about it. | |
| Nov 6, 2011 at 8:18 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | Gordon: Please don't. I was quite surprised to find that this question hadn't been closed (indeed, it had no votes to close even). I only answered because there were already quite a few answers and I didn't feel that any of them really addressed the actual question of detailing actual experiences. My desire to redress the balance won out over my desire to not have such questions on MO. They are subjective and argumentative and it is only with great restraint that I've stopped myself leaving comments on all of the other answers. | |

| Nov 5, 2011 at 23:00 | comment | added | Gordon Royle | I put a similar "math teaching style" question on math.stackexchange rather than the "research oriented" Mathoverflow, and it was closed as being too subjective and not "mathy" enough (despite getting many upvotes). Maybe I should move the discussion to MO ! | |

| Nov 5, 2011 at 12:05 | comment | added | Gerald Edgar | Probably most OTHER subjects at the university use legible slides rather than illegible on-the-spot writing by the professor... so your students probably won't think it is peculiar if you do this. That is the US answer. But if "third year" means this is their third year of taking only math courses, then they MAY think it is peculiar if you do this. | |
