    Video output from the computer, sound output, volume, proper lighting, noise
    Powerpoint replaces bullets and fonts with random ones, demos stop working (see below) Failing because they required the network, Internet, a particular version of an OS, random dlls that are missing, video card settings Files disappearing Just plain crashing

    choice of activities, topics, style of teaching, grading, more structure, less structure in section, section material too fluffy?
