Dear All,
Very interesting replies. Thanks. My dear friend has now landed said job and is very happy indeed!
Wrt Powerpoint. I agree that it is a good presentation tool and less useful for teaching and instruction. Student participation is essential to ensure that they have both listened and understood. It is possible however to utilise powerpoint and the whiteboard for instruction as long as student participation is encapsulated.
As for the last post by dear old BEagle, he wouldn't last 2 minutes where I work!! I got a severe bolloc*ing for calling a civvy a strawberry mivvie last week.
Thanks all, especially those who came up with the "goods".
