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

Did anyone suggest it should be a hardcore quant major? I’m struggling to get anything beyond point-and-clicky-here’s-the-p-value introduced.

Fair point. I am totally in favor of exposing students to coding, but we need to be realistic about how sustainable these skills would be without a serious investment of time.

Same for stats though too.
