Well, I'm also teaching RPM courses too, so I should know ;-).

You can extract it from the documentation I think.  Be aware of the fact
that %setup can be used only once.  Everything that can't be done via
%setup (e.g. extracting sources in different subdirectories) should be
done "manually" (with commands like "tar -xf %{SOURCE1}" etc.).
