Power Point

I have moved from rarely using Power Point in my lectures to having it in almost all my lectures.  I try very hard to make sure they are useful in the education of the students.  The problem is that some students think that all they need to study are the Power Points from the lecture and they will do well in the class.  This is not true and I DO tell them during different parts of the semester that they should not be focusing only on the Power Points when they are studying for the exams.
