- Printing the class notes
If you just download and print these notes, they will print one slide per
page, which means a lot of paper. To print multiple slides per sheet of
paper:
- Method 1 (PowerPoint): Use File > Print. On the File Print
dialogue, under "Print what" near the lower left, choose
"Handouts". Then, in the "Handouts" section near the
lower right, choose the number of slides per page that you want. Six
slides per page usually works well
- Method 2 (Both PowerPoint and pdf, but may only work with current
printer drivers): Use File > Print. Click on "Properties"
near the upper right, then on the "Features" tab, and select
the number of "Pages per Sheet" that you want.

Locations
Finding Shapero Hall can be difficult. Many WSU staff do not know where it
is, and others think they know, but are wrong. Here are a description and a map:
- By Anthony Wayne Boulevard northbound, where it curves around to Palmer
- Near Law School, Education, and FAB
- Inside red square on map below
Getting around inside Shapero Hall:
- The classroom for this course is on 3F (Third floor, Front).
- Take elevator to 3F (not 3R)
- Or take stairs to third floor
