Description
In this series of physics lectures, Professor J.J. Binney explains how probabilities are obtained from quantum amplitudes, why they give rise to quantum interference, the concept of a complete set of amplitudes and how this defines a "quantum state". A book of the course can be obtained from http://bit.ly/binneybook

Qua mech
Less time should be given to recapping probability laws which are taught at gcse and all maths/physics undergraduates should be familiar with and more time given to explaination. I think these undergraduates will be in the same position that I was in, whereby not truely understanding the topic and learning by rote.
:)
Complete novice to any type of physics bar GCSE, but that was very fascinating. Agreed on the probability recap, that was a bit too long winded and everyone knew it, but a good introductary lecture.
Poor
I should point out i only watched half the intro to quantum mechanics but that was enough to make me want to hurt myself
