    I provide PowerPoints with room for notetaking. I don't have
    notes on my PowerPoints to give if I wanted to. For
    undergraduate students I don't make them available in advance.
    I usually hand out copies and post the ppt file on Blackboard
    afterward for reference.

    I also give points for attendance and/or participation. When I
    don't do that my absentee rate doubles.
