New year, new course: "Programming Methods for Psych Research" for grad Ss at U of MN. My goal is to teach theoretical & practical aspects of computing for more rigorous & reproducible research. This is my #rstats & #openscience goal for 2019, & I'd appreciate your input: (1/7)

In an effort to be more inclusive and effective, the course does not assume *any* prior programming experience, so we will be learning the fundamentals of programming in both Python and R. I believe at least some fluency with each will best prepare students for the future. (2/7)

We will also cover practical extensions of these fundamentals, such as
#tidyverse,@psychopy, &#rmarkdown (others under consideration), as well as version control and preregistration (w/ power analysis) on@OSFramework, and how to run online studies. (3/7)1 reply 1 retweet 7 likesShow this thread -
It's a lot to try to cover in 15 wks, & I'm trying not to overlap too much w/ other courses. I also plan to adapt and adjust to students' experience and interests, so flexibility is key. But I want to build a strong core of material/skills for students to leave w/, so... (4/7)

But I don't have time to do it all. So my Q to you is: ***What would YOU want to learn from an open science programming course?*** I am open to any and all suggestions if I can fit them into the course / offer them as an option to students. Thank you, and Happy New Year! (7/7)

My thoughts on this are basically on my blog. So I think you know them.
Sounds like an amazing idea and whatever you do will be great IMHO. (Just because I have strong opinions doesn't mean I think my way is the only right way.) And please report back with your experiences!

Replying to @o_guest @elneurozorro and
Thank you! You'll be pleased to know I'm not including any MATLAB in this course
. I should re-read your blog post to remind myself of all your great points. And I will definitely report back!1 reply 0 retweets 1 like - 3 more replies
