Rguroo evaluation
Overall experience: Excellent!
PROSI 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.
CONSI 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.
PROSEase of use - point click menus and powerfulness of R
CONSSome 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!
PROSIt 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.
CONSThe 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.
PROSRguroo's capabilities in calculating probabilities, creating beautiful and interactive graphs, it's reproducibility and accessibility feature.
CONSThis 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
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.
CONSOverall, 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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSIt'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.

Easy to use product, students love it!
I enjoy the simple user experience with Rguroo and wonderful support from the Rguroo staff and team, always quick to help me and my students.
PROSI 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.
CONSI haven't found much that I did not like as of yet! It has been about 2 years so far.

Rguroo for Intro Stats
Very good! Allows me to add labs to my online course.
PROSI 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!
CONSExports 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.
PROSEase of use and the help features. Also, output is clearly labeled.
CONSHard 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.
