It's a bit advanced, but I really enjoyed this book. This was the book used in the CS probability course, also useful for EEs and CPEs.

It depends on what you need from the class. Weirman is worthless (unclear, unable to provide good examples or counterexamples) but if you already have a good basis in probability/statistics, it shouldn't matter all that much. I would try to read ahead around test-time, because questions will appear from later chapters than he indicated were covered by the test. He class basically follows Ross's book, which isn't so terrible in its own right.

This book might be worth checking out. It takes a very formal, axiomatic approach. Everything follows logically and proofs are given; there’s no handwaving. Lots of people complain about it being too difficult to approach for that reason, but you might find it worthwhile.
