Certain lecture content have been re-written and simplified so that the information is easier to retain (I condense several slides into tables, graphs, etc.). It includes all the studies that you need to know to get a good grade, as well as additional information from the textbook where necessary (the textbook was not directly examinable, but some info was useful in providing a deeper understanding).
