Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

Even though we go back to in-person teaching next academic year, we have taken the decision to continue using RStudio Cloud because of its other benefits, like avoiding the wasted first day of debugging student installations and letting me ID students that are putting in low numbers of hours outside of class, which I can use to intervene early with students who might be having trouble. Also, it's nicer for everybody that I and the demonstrators can just sign into a student's RStudio instance to debug code instead of having to do the shoulder-to-shoulder dance when in class. Finally, RSC gives every student a powerful instance of R, including students who only have a Chromebook, which lets me assign large datasets and RAM+CPU-intensive exercises.
