A student wants to know how they can download my slides, as opposed to the lecture notes and handouts I give out, which are just uploaded .pdf files.
The slides are hosted by a company called slideshare, who, it turns out, have a web utility for sharing slides. Clever folk that they are, they allow streaming of slideshows and downloading of them.
Here's how to get the slides as a .pdf you can print off:
Click anywhere in the window where the slideshow is playing. This will take you to Slideshare's page. There you'll see a link to 'download file'. Click it and work away.
Here's what that should look like, with the download option displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
