I majored in a different field, but am now in the last part of an education in software design. At my present school, I have come to despise slides for anything but short presentations. In particular, the use of slides as the main ingredient in lectures is a disease. It is a general rule, rather than an exception at this place, that lectures consist of flipping through slides being almost verbatim copies of the material in the used text book at a rate of 0.75 slide/min on average during 90 minutes of lecture. Lectures add no value this way, but it seems like lecturers use "producing" slides as an alibi for having prepared a proper lecture.
