    Ha! No problem Since I haven't found anyone yet who used both sets of videos, I'm going to skip SD and just stick with Against All Odds. Am I the only one who finds the applications really interesting? I thought the idea of putting urine samples to music was pretty awesome.

    I used both. I ended up watching probably 3/4 of the SD videos and about 3 of the "Against All Odds." One big difference I observed:

    The Against All Odds videos seemed geared towards real life applications. That's good for absorbing the basic concepts--but in terms of efficiency, the few that I saw had a lot of fluff and storytelling. The SD videos are Sesame Street for high school and college. They are very dense and efficient and dig a lot more into the actual problem solving you'll use.

    Put it this way. I did a lot of fast forwarding on the Against All Odds and a lot of pausing and notetaking for SD. FYI, I used United Streaming for the SD stuff.

    Your welcome. One more thing. If you are dense like me re. Probabilities, I thought the Berkelely podcast was best for that. At least it was for me. In fact, he explained it from a different perspective than both the textbook he was using in his class and the other sources. It was the exact way that it made sense to me.

    Thanks,

    I get frustrated pasting that stuff in--but if you do a search on this forum for "berkeley" and "united streaming" you'll find the links. On the Berkeley site, you have to go back a year or two to find Stats 2.
