RE: The Double-Slit experiment

Yes.

In the experiment the photons acted like a wave as long as their movement through the slits were not being monitored.

As soon as their movement were being monitored they stopped acting like waves and started acting like particles.

My question is this. The result, of them acting like waves or particles, is/was being monitored. Why wouldn't that cause them to stop acting like a wave?

Why does only monitoring them at the slits cause the wave to "collapse" but monitoring the resultant wave patter not cause the wave to collapse?
