Spring 2016 Syllabus


PowerPoint Lecture Presentations

&

Other Materials in PowerPoint Format

 

The secret to printing the PowerPoint slides for convenient note taking:  when PowerPoint opens, you have an editable version of the lecture which can be printed.  Click on "File", then "Print".  On the Print panel, choose "handout" from the "Print what:" pull down.  In "Slides per page:" click on 3.  That will print three slides on the left side per page with lines for notes on the right.  Obviously, you need to have PowerPoint.
