Power point slides are located in the third column from the left. The topic titles are links to the slides. Many of the power point slides cover more than one class. In order to view these slides, you will need to get a Power Point Viewer (unless you already have access to Microsoft Power Point). The power point viewer can be downloaded for free from microsoft.
With the full Powerpoint program, these slides can then be printed, several to a page, with room for notes. To accomplish this, you must first download the file (right click on link, "save target as"). Next, open the file in Powerpoint, and click "file," then "print." At the bottom of the print dialogue box, there is a option labeled "print what." In that box, select "handout 3/6 slides per page." With only the free viewer, this option is not available, but you should be able to cut and paste the text in the slides into a word processing program (such as Word or Word Perfect) and print from there.
