Rguroo evaluation

Overall experience: Excellent!

PROS

I like the easy to navigate Graphical User Interface. Also the arrangement of Rguroo menus mirrors the order in which I go through elementary statistics topics with my students.

CONS

I wish that Rguroo allowed for fractions as data entry values.

Reason for choosing Rguroo

(1) Cost was low, (2) Ease of use, and (3) Web-based tool.

Reasons for switching to Rguroo

Graphing calculators were more expensive to require students to purchase, compared with the low subscription cost of Rguroo. Also, students would rarely have the same calculator - even if they all had TI-84s, they often didn't have the correct operating system, etc.

Rguroo is a great tool in teaching elementary and advance statistics

It completely changed my and my students experience teaching and learning basic statistical analysis.

PROS

Ease of use - point click menus and powerfulness of R

CONS

Some graphs are not easily exported to word document

Reasons for switching to Rguroo

My students had hard time with the installation of Minitab and Rguroo, being a web-base platform, was a great substitute.

Rguroo for Introductory Statistics

I am happy with Rguroo. My lower level students do have issues with their user experience, initially, but there is probably no product that is user-friendly enough!

PROS

It is inexpensive, and has all the tools for beginning statistics courses and beyond. The ability to create groups and repositories is very useful. Inclusion of some Web applets is a nice feature. That it is Web-based, so functional on all devices including phones, helps meets the needs of my students.

CONS

The Normal Probability Plot should be included in the "Plots" tab. Needs better messaging for some error conditions. Specifically, when the user is timed out, they should receive a pop-up. Many times I've done work, sometimes a good amount, such as editing a dataset, and I lose that work while finding out that I've been timed out only when I press the "Save As" button or something like that. Entering data is cumbersome, with all of the double-clicking required, but I've heard that is currently being improved.

Reason for choosing Rguroo

It contained all of the right tools for my course, was reasonably priced, and being based on the R language that I have programmed with, it gave me some immediate familiarity.

Reasons for switching to Rguroo

Fathom, though very user-friendly and interactive, is not being updated and does not work on Apple products nor mobile devices. Since I have experience coding in the R language, Rguroo was the perfect fit for me at a great price.

Appreciate and love Rguroo

My experience has been great, as it has provided me with an outstanding help in teaching my statistics courses in the past few years of teaching. It has also been a great alternative to R programming.

PROS

Rguroo's capabilities in calculating probabilities, creating beautiful and interactive graphs, it's reproducibility and accessibility feature.

CONS

This software does not have many cons. All features that I use have been useful and easy to navigate.

Rguroo Works Well for General Introductory Statistics Courses

PROS

I teach using Rguroo and it works very well in my courses. My students are not fully prepared to work directly in R and Rguroo is the perfect transitional experience for students without programming knowledge. They can successfully analyze data and conduct statistical inference without coding which was exactly what I was looking for an introductory course. In addition, is it simple to share multiple data sets with my courses.

CONS

Overall, I am very happy with Rguroo. The program actually has everything I need it to have to complete all my assessments. No complaints from me.

Reason for choosing Rguroo

I do not have class time to teach R coding in our introductory course.

Reasons for switching to Rguroo

We switched textbooks from a Pearson book to a Wiley book and Wiley included Rguroo in the price of the Lock text.

RGuroo Review

Overall I really like RGuroo. The multiple representations when you are teaching distributions and probabilities is very helpful.

PROS

The ease of use for teaching. I like that with just a few clicks you can do a statistical analysis. Also appreciate the amount of dataset included within RGuroo. It makes it easier to do projects in a statistics course.

CONS

It's lack of connection with Knewton homework. It's very dificult to use RGuroo when the assignments do not include instructions, explanations, feedback related to RGuroo. We have had many issues with rounding with using RGuroo to complete Knewton homework.

PROS

I liked the ease of using Rguroo for my statistics classes. It really saved my students a lot of time in any of their statistical graphs and calculations so now I use it every semester.

Rguroo for Intro Stats

Very good! Allows me to add labs to my online course.

PROS

I had visions of creating an interface like Rguroo for my students to make the command line interface with R easier to use. Rguroo nailed it!

CONS

Exports to Word are a bit clunky. Tables are not easy to customize.

Great quality for the price

We use Rguroo instead of a TI84 in teaching elementary statistics.

PROS

Ease of use and the help features. Also, output is clearly labeled.

CONS

Hard to do ANOVA. Not always easy to enter data. Sometimes it is easier to import the dataset.

Reasons for switching to Rguroo

Cost to the student. Only a few students each semester have switched.
