  I'm not sure how school works in Belgium, but with Universities in the U.S., each department has a "Chair", i.e. a head of the department. There's one for Computer Science, Engineering, etc. If there's such a person where you're at, you may want to consider reporting it to him/her.

  Having been a teaching assistant at a University here in the U.S., I don't think I would include credits within slides I used to teach a class. There's a certain amount of elitism (if that's the right word) you want to mainta

  At this point in time, getting on a professor/teacher's bad side--even if you're in the right and they're in the wrong--can cost you more than it can cost them. I'd let this one slide and move on. Or, if you must, mention it to the department head after you graduate.

  I say bring it before the dean, and don't let it be hushed up. (Personally, I'd insist on the faculty member being fired; you may want to settle for a shame-faced public apology.)

  How many slides were "borrowed"? Only one one or two or the whole course?

  Remember that after you've graduated, you'll still be the author of the text, after all. And also that "Les conseilleurs ne sont les payeurs" (sorry, don't know how to translate it correctly).

    Well, the course I did last year had a 10 page introduction text, slides to go along (around 10 slides), a short reference text (2-3 pages) and some practical stuff... 'Their' material has one or two slides missing but everything else is just like it was in my version. They only had a one hour session about it, didn't even do the practical part and it won't be part of the finals... Doing the perl classes last year was a nice gesture but it took me more work to prepare that class than to prepare for the pra
