How to get most out of Introduction to PowerPoint with Phillip Campbell:

This class is very technical. Make sure you have PowerPoint installed so you can reference what we discuss in class. Taking notes will be very helpful, but you will definitely be able to cross-reference them with the actual program. I recommend going into PowerPoint and fooling around with the different options while referencing your notes.
