Briefly: verboseness, self-indulgence, a scattershot approach.
It really shows that the notes not the battle-tested product of several years of teaching a course to undergrads, like Walters or Awodey's books are.
(Admittedly, Walters' book is a bit eccentric by current standards of what should be on the syllabus, but it is well written.)
