Use
of Clickers
This section
will be utilizing the eInstruction Personal Response Pads (i.e., “clickers”) as
part of the course instruction. The intent of using clickers in this large
course is to promote greater student engagement during lectures. During each
class, several questions will be posed that require your response of which some
questions will also be used to stimulate discussion with classmates. In
addition, quizzes will be given periodically during the semester using the
clickers. Exams, however, will be administered with paper/pencil.
Unfortunately, clickers will work only for the one to whom it
is registered, thus everyone must get their own clicker. Prior to the first
class, you will need to purchase a clicker from the bookstore with either a
semester or lifetime use of the enrollment code. Before you can use your
clicker in this course, you must register online through Blackboard. Click the
COURSE tab and choose TOOLS. Click the CPS CONNECTION and then click REGISTER
CLASS. Instructions that guide you through this process are included with the
clicker at the time of purchase. If you have never used an eInstruction
clicker, you must first create an account and register your clicker. The serial
number will be displayed on the LCD screen of the clicker when you turn it on.
