We will use the i>clicker student response system in this class.
Clickers give students a chance to participate actively,
and give the instructor additional feedback on whether concepts are
understood.
You can use either i>clicker + or i>clicker 2; but not the phone app version.
You must register your clicker: go to
http://www1.iclicker.com/register-an-iclicker
and follow the directions there. Put your MSU student ID number in the
"Student ID" box. If you make a mistake in registering, just register again:
the most recently entered information will take precedence.
No cheating: bringing someone else's clicker to class, or having someone else
use your clicker will result in zero clicker points for the semester for both
parties.
