I didn't say or suggest that they should get an easy ride. Quite the contrary, I think they have an enormously difficult pathway already. I share your enthusiasm for teaching coding but this is not the only hard challenge students face.

Yeah, we take the undergrads (all of them) all the way up to ANCOVA and regression. We can sprinkle in R and Python.

In another thread, we've been discussing the value of diversity of approaches to science and not forcing all research through the same mold. It might be helpful to value that diversity of approaches here as well.

I'm not sure coding is an approach to doing science and I think the role of the undergrad is to give students a "tour" of all approaches. I realise that is a UK perspective and in the US you mix and match.

I think it's fine to introduce them to coding (sprinkling as you said above), but making psych a hardcore quant major may not serve the interests of the students

I don't think I said that. I think we, in the UK, need to push back really hard on the damage the BPS is doing to undergrads. It's making everybody have a degree geared around becoming a clinical psych.

You did say "sprinkle in R and Python" a few tweets back, which I took to mean that you introduce them to the topic. I don't think you could get instill a sustainable understanding of coding through such an approach, but it would be great for them to at least SEE what coding is

Same with stats TBH!
