I am a lecturer at a different university/school. May I integrate the SSRC in my teaching?

Yes, this is not a problem at all and we are happy if you do so!

We created this course for the purpose of teaching our students R at TU Munich and still use it intensely for this purpose.

Based on our experience with the SSRC we recommend lecturers to offer Q&A sessions accompanying the SSRC where students can approach you if they have technical problems or clarifying questions regarding the sample solution.

If you actually use the SSRC for your teaching, it would be great if you could share your experience with us afterwards.
