A major problem with these sorts of courses is that they're often not taught in a way that emphasizes their utility to the student. If you're thinking about being a psychologist for example why is calculus important? I'm not saying it isn't. I can think of several different ways it could be very important especially as it regards understanding statistics

Andy Field's "Discovering Statistics Using SPSS" may serve as a text book with many good examples and an overall hands-on approach
(I've been teaching statistics to psychologists for some years BTW)
