In case you have students who want try out R, this may help. One of my students, Jeff Morrow, made a PowerPoint Slide Show. He was trying to follow along with this little tutorial I made for people who want to test out R:

Jeff became intrigued and frustrated. Import of Excel data failed because the saved file output from Excel had commas inside the numbers. That sent him chasing his tail in frustration because the import seemed fine, but the numbers were treated as factor data and plots were bizarre. That made him angry and determined enough to work out the kinks.

So in case you are a student interested to see what R is about from the very beginning level, or you are a professor and want to see know how your beginning students will see it, this might be a good place:
