Answer
No. Intellectual
property rights in student works belong to the student who
created the work. A creative work like this PowerPoint presentation,
created by a student to meet course requirements, is the property
of the student and may not be used by the faculty member without
permission from the student. Even though the faculty member
intends to use the student's presentation for an educational
purpose and the material in the presentation is largely factual,
the fact that the faculty member plans on using the student's
entire presentation (and in the creative format developed
by the student) weighs against a determination of "fair use"(an
exception to copyright). The faculty member should contact
the student for permission to use the presentation.
