Teach R Programming with CodeGrade

Overcome challenges in your course

Setup and installs slow everyone down: R requires multiple packages and setup steps—one missing dependency can derail a lesson.

Math and coding knowledge vary widely: Some students breeze through data frames, while others get stuck on basic statistics.‍

Grading takes too much time: Reviewing every student’s code and outputs manually, especially with so much variation, quickly becomes unmanageable.

1. Smooth out R’s steep learning curve

When students don’t have to battle with setup, they can focus on exploring data. CodeGrade gives every learner a clean, ready-to-code R environment in the browser.

3. Grade smarter, not harder

R empowers students to analyze data in meaningful ways, but reviewing every submission manually can slow you down. CodeGrade tackles this with automatic grading.
