Dear Professors: Robert, Muehlegger and Friedman,
Students of the API201 B/C/D sections would like to ask you to please consider posting complete power point slides to the course page. It would be very helpful for reviewing the broad range of topics on which we would be tested during the final exam. We are aware of the concern that posting complete power point slides might discourage some students from attending the lectures, however, our experience in API101 B/C/D/ sections (where complete slide shows are posted online), suggests otherwise. Perhaps a compromised policy would be to withhold the complete slide shows throughout the semester (which would presumably discourage students from skipping the lectures) but share them at the end of the semester when there are no more lectures to be attended and when the students would greatly benefit from complete slides in preparation for the final exam.
Sincerely,
Students of the API 201 B/C/D sections:
I have reached out to the professors to request a formal meeting regarding the distribution of course materials. They are currently reviewing our proposal and I will provide an update once I receive their official response.
December 5, 2012
The level of engagement regarding our request for course materials indicates that this is a significant priority for many students. I appreciate the thoughtful feedback provided in the comments section and will ensure these perspectives are included when I present our case to the faculty.

posting them after the last class would literally fix everything. nobody is skipping lecture just to get a slide deck.

Please?? Trying to study from these incomplete slides is a nightmare. Half the concepts aren't even mentioned.

This would be a massive help for finals week.
