Googling "R for psychology students" I found this: http://health.adelaide.edu.au/psychology/ccs/docs/lsr/lsr-0.3.pdf
and this: https://personality-project.org/r/ The latter has links to many short courses and tutorials. If you do end up using R, I find the following sites extremely helpful: Quick-R <http://www.statmethods.net/> : (http://www.statmethods.net/)has a very intuitive layout with lots of really helpful examples. Cookbook for R <http://www.cookbook-r.com/> : (http://www.cookbook-r.com/) is organized around showing you how to do specific things. Know that R is a command driven language, so no "point and click" really - you have to learn the commands which does make for a learning curve. Still, most basic statistics and a lot of not so basic statistics can be generated with just a few commands. I would also recommend having students install R-studio <http://www.rstudio.com/> (http://www.rstudio.com/) in addition to R (there's controversy about this - many people hate R-Studio). I find it very helpful in organizing work sessions, inspecting datasets, locating files, etc. Good luck with it. -----Original Message----- From: Spencer Graves [mailto:spencer.gra...@prodsyse.com] Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2013 9:19 PM To: R list Subject: [R] R for a stats intro for undergrads in the US? Hello, All: Would anyone recommend R for an introductory statistics class for freshman psychology students in the US? If yes, might there be any notes for such available? I just checked r-projects.org and CRAN contributed documentation and found nothing. I have a friend who teaches such a class, and wondered if R might be suitable. The alternative is SPSS at $406 per student. Thanks, Spencer -- Spencer Graves, PE, PhD President and Chief Technology Officer Structure Inspection and Monitoring, Inc. 751 Emerson Ct.
