I am working with first year grad students in psychology and have sloooooooowly been adding some R content to the course. I do not have a systematic plan and I haven't yet found the teaching related materials that will be a good match to my particular course structure.
I noticed Randall Pruim's comment: "4) For teaching, the decision between base graphics, lattice, and ggplot2 (and soon ggvis) is an important one to think through. Depending on the goals of the course, I can imagine good arguments for using lattice or ggplot2. I don’t find base graphics compelling for teaching and never teach it to my students." Which caused me to wonder....which package should I be focusing on? For these students I am focused on fairly basic graphics such as boxplots, histograms, scatterplots. What are the pros/cons of the different packages that I should consider as I work to be more planful in my incorporation of R?
