This class is a statistics based psychology class but so far the entire course is based on assignments using a coding platform. We had minimal instructions on how to use the platform, and as a psych major, not a computer science major, I'm really struggling. We have weekly homework assignments that we use the coding platform for, which take me hours and have me in tears every week. I understand statistics is important for psychology, but I can't even learn statistics if I first have to get past how to code.

Coding using R studio platform -Makes statistical models using data in R studio

The professor is passionate about the topics and is definitely very smart. However, I don't understand anything that is taught because of the program we use. I went to office hours a few times, but I don't feel like I got anything out of it. I think the level of knowledge about coding that the professor expects from us for this course is way too much, considering this class is mostly psych majors and does not have any coding pre requisites.

I really wish there was advice I could give, but if I knew anything that could help me I would be using it.
