Welcome to my resources pages. Here you will find information relating to the modules I teach at Nottingham University: lecture notes, seminar handouts, module handbooks. If you are interested you can also browse some of the things I have written. As you can see there is nothing very fancy about the site, but hopefully you will find what you are looking for without too much difficulty (this is definitely a pop-up/flash/Java free site - but I do love those pastel shades).
To access some of the stuff you will need Acrobat Reader (PC) or Preview (mac). It's just too much hassle at the moment to make everything html friendly (particularly teaching related documents), so some things are as they were 'meant' to be.
Here is a summary of what you will find - with links:
