I wanted more math credits for my non-math student (he did his Algebra I, II, and Geometry) but wanted to give him a break. We went with the Teaching Company's lectures on Stats and Probability. I'm just going to call it an intro course on his transcripts, but I agree that the practice in notetaking is very valuable, and I was pleased that the course included a booklet containing lecture notes and a few practice questions.

Our library had a number of their courses. I used their Economics which is College level as a supplement to the Austrian School and then took a number of topics to compare the two schools. I used the Richard Maybury books and Workbooks for an intro to Austrian Economics, particularly What Ever Happened to Penny Candy. These books are great for sifting out the false information the media and academia feed us. We need leaders in this area to create good change. I also used for a Review of Algebra 2 which my daughter felt they did a good job on. I didn't use it for her real class though. Only because it was 2 years later since she had Algebra and had to do her SAT/ACT. The Teaching Company is terrific and you might tell your readers to check their

We're doing research for our daughter for next year, and I'll definitely look into this. Great resource – thanks!
