Dave Curtis lecture notes
Skived off the lecture? Couldn't get a copy of the hand-out from a friend?

nor perhaps even accurate, but maybe they'll be of some interest to somebody.
Here are notes on psychiatric assessment:
Here are the same notes formatted for mobile devices:
And here are hand-outs and/or overheads for other subjects (please note that the field may have progressed since they were prepared):
Here are the notes and exercises for a course we ran in linkage and association analysis:
