Psi Chi, the psychology honor society, is sponsoring a fun, free, low-commitment way to help your students (and maybe you?) learn R.
I talked with Jordan Wagge, one psychologists spearheading the project (along with John Eldund and April Staples), and my understanding is that there will be multiple cycles of this class, using different data, research questions, and inferential statistics (so, if your students can't do this right now, a new cycle will start Late Spring). Each cycle will run the course of three months. There will be an assignment due in the middle of each month.
This class would be great for any graduate school-bound undergraduate.
Here is the formal intro from Psi Chi.
A good place to get started is this Google Doc that outlines the whole contest and the process you/your students will go through, step by step.
Here are all of the materials, hosted on OSF.
Also, if you successfully complete it YOU GET A STICKER. And I find that the UGs love stickers. NO, really, they do.
