CS135 has an extensive set of slides that are used in lectures. They are available for purchase from Media Doc. They are also available online (see below!) if you prefer to have them on your computer or print them yourself. In any case, you should have a copy that you can take notes on during lectures.
Reading the slides is not a substitute for attending lectures. The slides do not contain anything that the instructor says, writes on the board, or demonstrates on a computer during lectures. If you miss a lecture, you should contact a classmate who was present and catch up promptly.
