I teach from transparencies and do virtually nothing but lab (hands-on)
classes nowadays.  I dislike doing lecture classes for a variety of
reasons, not the least of which is that it's very tiring talking for
6 hours a day.

As far as the prereqs issue goes, I am clear and perhaps even a bit
discouraging when I tell training coordinators or individual students
"this isn't an introduction to programming course."  If I wind up with
an unprepared student in an open enrollment class, I just offer a full or
partial refund depending on what the situation is, and hope the student
will go away.  :-)
