Clicker Policy

Everyone must bring an iClicker2 with them to every class. There will be some days that we will not use them, but most days we will.

Each Wednesday or Thursday, you have the ability to earn Participation points that count towards the Participation Grade. Four points will come from the first Quiz question given to you within 30 seconds of the start of class (points for being on time). Additional points will be offered depending on how students fared on the quizzes from the week before. If less than 70% of students in your class "pass" an online quiz from the week before, then additional questions that count towards the Participation grade will be asked. If at least 70% of students in your class "pass" each online quiz taken from the week before, then time in the Wed or Thurs class can be spent discussing the material from the week before, doing in-class activities related to the material, and completing questions including the chance for bonus questions (extra credit).

Notwithstanding, Bonus questions can be offered if 85% of students in the class "pass" online quizzes taken from the week before. If students answer the bonus questions correctly, those points will be added to the student's participation grade for that week. However, if many students do not pass one (or more) of the online quizzes from the week before, then much of the "in-class" time will be spent in review sessions and fewer (if any) bonus questions will be offered.

If you forget your clicker on one Wed or Thurs, you can still take the quiz using a blank sheet of paper and you can still earn the three or more participation points (and bonus points, if offered that day) by answering questions in class. If you forget your clicker for a second (or 3rd, or 4th...) day, you won't get the chance to earn quiz or bonus points (that are added onto the participation grade), but you can still earn the five participation points.

You may want to pack a second battery just in case your battery runs out.
