Our first-year graduate statistics course (in psychology) is taught by Prof. Paul Rosenbaum, in the statistics department. Last year (according to my students), he discouraged students from using R for their homework. He told them it was too hard. Now he is again teaching the course, recommending R, and making the homework data available in an R-friendly format (i.e., not xls or JMP format). The student culture is changing too. They help each other.
