"I have deliberately avoided a fully-worded handout" - oh, please don't. We like fully-worded handouts...we'll take notes if we want to, but if you don't put it in the handout, we'll forget it.
"Almost all the content of these lectures is contained in [insert textbook authors' names here]. I suggest you buy and read it anyway." Yes, because we have time to read textbooks.
Later in the same handout:
"If you or your supervisors are still mystified..." IF?
You get extra credit in your Tripos essays if you provide evidence that you have read outside the lecture notes. This sounds great - rewarding scholarship, or something - but is actually rubbish, because you'll only have time to do extra reading if you give up sleeping, eating, or socialising (where 'socialising' means 'seeing anyone other than at lectures' in this context).
