[R] Fwd: Questions about templates for R

[Bill.Venables at csiro.au]

Isn't there a danger that what you teach will then be driven by what templates you receive?

I would have thought this was an easy thing to do yourself, once you have decided what you want to teach your students.  Just write a scropt (e.g. using the inbuilt script edit in R for Windows if you can't do any better) doing the kind of thing you wish your students to learn and electronically hand it out to the students.  Altering the data and other forms of input should then be pretty easy.  Also, I would not adopt this style for very long.  The objective must surely be to get the students to be able to draw up their own scripts and undertake the full creative exercise.

Subject: [R] Fwd: Questions about templates for R

Hi
I am looking for R templates to introduce the R to my students at
Seton hall university. The templates are predefined scripts in R that
will retain its primary intent when individually customized with their
own variable data or text. In this case, my students at Seton Hall
University. For example, PSPad editor provides new users predefined
templates before writing their own scripts.

Please let me know if it makes more sense.
