DISADVANTAGES OF OVERHEAD TRANSPARENCIES

- Overhead transparencies tend to get “crowded”
- Require that room be darkened, which may sever connection between speaker and audience

De travers

Keystone peut etre un pivot. Comme il s'agit de points negatifs de l'utilisation de transparents, je traduirais par " les images peuvent etre de travers sur l'ecran", car les transparents peuvent glisser sur le projecteur.
