I strongly agree with your dislinking of the overhead projector.  As a student,
I view this action from an instructor the attitude of wanting/having a ready-
made-course, in which he merely has to pull pages 41-68 and transparancy 8a
and he is ready for the day.  Sometimes I feel that I myself could get up and
do the same task equally as effective.  If I feel this way, surely other 
students do as well.  I greatly respect and can alway find interest in an
instructor that is willing to take input from the class as a whole and present
things in that order/interest, rather than teach the chapters in a book, whic
(which) I could easily do at home.
