st: experience with STATA for student use

["P. Rao Sahib" <p.rao.sahib@rug.nl>]

Dear Stata users, I am exploring the option of using STATA for teaching 
for a senior bachelor level/master level course. I am curious about the 
experiences of others at universities  with using STATA for teaching.  
EVIEWS (an econometric software package) is already installed in the 
student computer labs so acquiring any additional competing software 
needs justification. I prefer STATA as my students work mainly with 
panel data models and EVIEWS seems very time-series oriented (and has 
fewer internet resources to learn more about the program).  I would 
happy for any tips/advice regarding using STATA on student networks, 
Gradplan or using small STATA.
