Unfortunately, I've been to many an instructional presentation where the
class notes that are passed out are just the presentation you are
watching. :-(

I'm not sure that's in any way unfortunate. There's always someone who
missed the presentation or someone who wants to archive the topics of
discussion. The printed presentation is fine for those purposes. At a
minimum, it can serve as the basis for follow-up questions.

What else would you prefer?

a folder of pdfs from various seminars/classes/etc. rather than a stack
of paper, making it trivial to search for a specific event or a slide
within a presentation.

"class notes that are passed out" can certainly be via pdf. I'm fine with
that. I was just commenting on the fact that the thing that gets passed out
is essentially the presentation slides, whether they be in paper or
electronic form. Personally, I greatly prefer electronic form. I see that
my previous reply wasn't clear in that regard.

For many, or at least some, paper provides more options for
reading/reviewing than an electronic file.

Provide both. :-)
