I think this course is very relevant to personnel in-charge of the selection of GT students. It is not an easy course and is very lengthy.

The course was very hard to follow and understand. The information was geared more for someone very interested in statistics or becoming involved in choosing tests to be administered to children–not a general classroom teacher.
