There's a thing called satisfaction... and it feels great.

Why I would write my own slides/texts instead of already existing texts, has to do with satisfaction.
Yes, my slides might suck; yes, they might have loads of stuff missing.
BUT also: yes, I learned a bit more while writing and explaining; yes, it feels great that effort 'pays off'
If you are not confident about your material, how can you expect your pupils to listen to you?

I'm sure Lincoln Stein, dominus , Larry Wall and merlyn have great powerpoint presentations on the subject but what good are they if the person presenting them doesn't fully understand 'em? vaidhyakrish stated 2 things: He know some perl and he needed the tutorials fast. I doubt anyone will be able to answer all questions when using a premade presentation, on an unfamiliar topic.

as a sidenote:I told vaidhyakrish in the CB how I normally go about writing texts/prepping slides. He didn't think that was much help.
disclaimer (& update): I have no proof whatsoever that Lincoln, Larry, merlyn or dominus use MS Powerpoint for their presentations :)

I'm not sure about Lincoln or MJD, but I'm pretty sure that neither Larry nor I touch PowerPoint for any purpose other than to look at other people's presentations thrown at us. I'd never source a long-term training class in PowerPoint. Yuck.

The difference between this request and homework is that a student is supposed to do the homework himself to help him learn. A teacher does not prepare Powerpoint viewgraphs to help him learn. If the slides are in the public domain and some monks know where the slides are then I say go for it.

I consider this request to be a very appropriate use of PM, and I am glad that the requester was able to find the assistance here that he needed.

Feeling scalded after being  1) reaped and  2) a  -2 (so far) 
for a second post. I play with fire. 

Nonetheless I go "I'm with you Cap'n!"

back to initiate I go. But better an initiate with principles
than a saint with a brown nose, I say.
