Nov 4, 2011 at 18:36 comment added Michael Lugo I've also seen lecturers who "borrowed" slides from people who have taught the same course in the past. This inevitably leads to the embarrassing "what I think they're trying to say here is..."
Nov 4, 2011 at 16:31 comment added Margaret Friedland Yes, slides take a lot of time to prepare, and not all students realize or appreciate this. They may think the instructor used something ready-made, similar to commercially available lessons on slides at the grade or high school level (which they may have seen in use). I know someone who took great pains to prepare slides from scratch for a post-calculus course, only to get teaching evaluations like "He teaches from Power Point, give me a break". This is to emphasize the point you are making, not to discourage the OP from using slides.
