If you go strictly Bayesian, your students might have difficulties processing a substantial potion of the literature in the social sciences, which is based on complex, traditional hypothesis testing methods. Moreover, your students might end up lacking the necessary preparation to succeed in graduate stats courses if they attend programs that continue to rely on traditional methods.

More and more, though, lately I've been reading that "we're doing stats wrong" and need to start moving to Bayesian stats. I understand and appreciate the arguments. I think they're right. The recent Psych Science has a bevy of articles about it, exacerbated, I'm sure, by Bem's JPSP article. Our program is essentially a grad-school-prep program, and the text will be for these students: all grad-school-bound, and smart. But most are going into the helping, rather than research-side of psych. But they'll get PhDs. Can I get a show of hands to help me decide whether or not I should a) include only Bayesian hypothesis testing, 2) both trad and Bayesian hypoth tests, or iii) just the trad stuff. It's a year-long course with a lab (I get them 6 hours a week for a year), and right now they come out knowing things all the way through mixed-model factorial ANOVA. Should I back off the hard-core experimental design (ANOVA) and move toward this recent (sorta) issue about how we have been doing hypothesis tests?
