Abstract:
This paper describes our experience teaching S-Plus to first year computer and mathematical science students. We explain the reason for selecting S-Plus as the statistical package for our students and describe the material prepared to introduce the package and how it was presented. We also outline the problems that students experienced, analyse the reasons for these problems and the ways we are attempting to overcome these.
