      Agreed... now I have 2 concrete concerns: 1. Where will the time come from to teach coding? (Not sure that "From the time not spent learning SPSS clicking" will be sufficient.) It's easy to have ideas for adding to a curriculum, but nobody wants their stuff to have less time.

      There were certain members of staff who took on an extra load to make this happen (staff training, curriculum development). But in terms of sacrificing other content, it wasn't necessary. It was just a matter of replacing outdated (and often poorly delivered or redundant) content

      We did introduce a fourth-year option of Advanced Statistics, but amazingly, it was our students who petitioned for this! This was one outcome that has surprised us: exposing students to quality methods teaching makes them want even more of it

      Not surprising at all. These things are something you learn to love. I've mentioned all these effects in this thread. Undergrads are constantly undervalued, but the kids are alright.

      I've heard others say that skeptics of teaching R just need to see Glasgow UG students at posters to be convinced that it is possible.

      I also taught intro stats in R to large undergrad classes and now do it in large grad classes. I highly recommend doing everything in R Markdown (demos and homework). Students really like it.

      Well, the fact that only 14% of students in that (required) course say they would rather cut and paste their results into Word than use RMarkdown says a lot about the difference between what students want and what staff think they want

      People think other people need GUIs. But I don't believe them. The only reason people think a GUI or IDE is intuitive is because those arguing for it already know how to use it.

          I seem to recall back in the 90s or 2000s some research with CLIs vs GUIs with older adults that showed, counterintuitively, that they could handle the CLI much easier because it wasn't full of distracting things (lots of icons, etc). They could focus on a single task. >

          I find "powerful" GUIs confusing and frazzling to be honest. It's a visual maze with no clear path.

          Same here. I hate thinking the GUI way. As if the actions one can take are set in linear order. Computer programing is in this sense like writing natural language. Imagine doing an essay using a menu and thinking that's normal.
