I also followed a course that was based on the Silberschatz/Gagne/Galvin book, and when searching for background I found many courses based on the same - they were structured extremely similar.

Honestly, I don't see the point of all these instructors making their own summaries of the same book. I think that all these summaries condense the material to the point they're barely more than PowerPoint lists.

Can someone that learns better using this format explain why?

I am a university professor teaching Operating Systems based on the Dinosaur book. I always use the authos' slides to which I add my own notes and extra/missing concepts.

My colleagues from other universities here do exactly what you say, they do their own summary which is an effort I also don't understand.

The only moment when I felt I needed to do my own slides was with the pandemic online courses that refrained me from using the whiteboards in the amphitheater. But in the end the graphical tablet saved me from that.

I guess these materials are intended as support for classes, so it is ok for them to resemble Powerpoint decks as there would be a lot of voice over and explanations on top of them by the teacher.

Vain attempt to justify tuition fees with "original" content.
