Crash Course
Didn't take great notes in class? Missed a day and need to get the general idea? Crash course has information on lots of topics. Find the right subject then find the topic to get the jist of what you missed.

The general rule of thumb is called the 5 and 8 rule.
5 bullet points maximum
8 words per bullet point maximum

When you go to present make sure on the ribbon when you click 'Slide Show' that the 'Presenter View' box is ticked. This will show you the notes and not everyone else.
