Abstract | The statistical computing and graphics software R, despite its many advantages, is sometimes considered too complex to be introduced to undergraduate political science majors. In this article I showed that when taught appropriately, R could be a valuable and well-received aspect of an introductory research methods course. It is important to teach R throughout the semester and take preventative measures to deal with common problems. I began with a comparison of four frequently used software in undergraduate research methods courses and a discussion of the pros and cons of teaching R. I then introduced a R sequence that I developed and implemented with success in my introductory research methods course, including example course notes, homework, and common problems and solutions, with the goal of providing research methods instructors a template to develop their own R workshops as part of an introductory political science research methods course.
