How was the install process? Anything I should know for future students?
The process was generally pretty simple! The instructions were clear and the process was pretty quick. My only suggestion would be during the R demo video to zoom in on the left side of the R screen so that it is easier for students to go into spit screen and still see what you are doing up close.
Have you used any statistical software before?
I have not. The closest thing I have used would be Google Sheets and, still, I have limited capabilities in that department:)
