Another helpful tool to consider is the Standard Deviants Statitics video
tape series. You can purchase it through www.amazon.com - search using
"standard deviants statistics". (yes I mean deviants and not deviates).
They are VERY good tapes intended to help college students make it through
their first stat classes.

The publishers asked me to review the original statistics video in
this series. I thought it would be appealing to students but I wasn't
sure they would learn much from it. I gave up a bit more than half
way through the tape at which point they were agonizing over how to
choose class intervals for a histogram. Judging by time devoted to
it, this seemed to be a much more important topic than, say,
inference. The tape might provide some amusement and relaxation
between study sessions, but should not be confused with studying
statistics.
