4.0 out of 5 stars Solid and effective, but very introductive, May 11, 2008

This review is from: The Probability and Statistics Tutor - 10 Hour Course - 3 DVD Set - Learn By Examples! (DVD)

This product would deserve a 5-star if only it had just one more disk on correlations, regression, and hypothesis testing. Without that additional disk, it is a VERY GOOD AND NECESSARY product for beginners, but not as useful as it could be for people who want to start applying statistics in their work. What I mean is the following: probability is nice and pretty, and even necessary in sampling etc -- however, it is hardly sufficient, and the little space devoted to statistics here means that these DVDs are only a starting point to loads of additional study.

Having said that, the strengths of these DVDs are those of the usual Jason Gibson DVDs: solid stuff, enthusiastically presented, for enduring knowledge. Even if one happens to forget something, it is always a pleasure to go back and watch the relevant section. The presenter has a true gift for communicating concepts he is clear, he uses interesting examples, and he really puts himself in the student's seat to focus on questions and tricks that lead to true knowledge.

Jason is just soooo cool. He has perfect instincts for what he is doing. I think he is an engineer by trade, if i am not mistaken, which is maybe why he knows exactly what to emphasize. It is such a pleasure watching him work. He is unassuming, and has a deep understanding of his subject. You HAVE to admire his audacity. Just him, a few particularly squeeky dry erase markers, and a white board. No editing majic, no bumper music, no distractions. It is a close as you can get to having a live tutoring session. I will watch, with great pleasure, every dvd he produces. Other dvds, I watch most all of them, you might get one or two gems if you are lucky. Jasons lessons are a string of pearls. He is tireless, consistent, very personable. Highest recommendations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for, May 25, 2008

I am studying for the Certified Quality Engineer exam, which is heavy on statistics. I am taking a refresher course to help but it assumes I already know this stuff. I was getting behind in class so I ordered this course along with a couple of others that weren't much help.
*THIS GUY IS A SPECTACULAR TEACHER*
He has obviously been teaching this stuff for a long time, knows which areas give people trouble, and spends extra time on those areas. Sure, if you already know how to average numbers, you don't need to see it done step by step again, but most of the material is new to me and I appreciate the way he hammers each point home. Plus, each DVD is split into sections, so you can skip the sections you already know and replay the ones you need more practice on. I highly recommend this.
