Clicker Information

We will use i>clickers in this class. Clickers can be purchased from the university bookstore, and can be used for multiple classes on campus.

In order for your clicker answers to be graded your clicker must be registered using CUconnect. Instructions on how to register your clicker are available here.

We will begin using clickers in class on the first day of class (Jan 11) and will start counting for credit on Tuesday January 18th. It is your responsibility to verify that your clicker is working properly and that your clicker answers are being recorded correctly. I will post clicker grades via CULearn once per week, and you can verify that your clicker answers are being received by checking these grades.

We will have approximately 10 clicker quizzes in class during the semester. The clicker quizzes will include several clicker questions based on the assigned reading and lecture notes for the day's class and will not be announced ahead of time. Your grade on the clicker quizzes will count for 10% of your final class grade.

Non-quiz clicker questions will also be asked in most lectures and you will receive 1 point for answering a clicker question and 1 additional point for giving the correct answer to a clicker question. Some of the non-quiz clicker questions will be survey clicker questions that do not have a right or wrong answer, and you will receive 2 points for answering these questions. The non-quiz clicker questions will typically cover material that has just been discussed in class.

Grades based on your answers to the non-quiz clicker questions will be used to replace up to 10% of your total exam grade (6% of your final class grade). Your non-quiz clicker grade will only be used to improve your final course grade, and will not decrease your final course grade. If you earn no non-quiz clicker points during the semester your exam average will count for 60% of your final grade. If you earn all of the clicker points during the semester your exam average will count for 54% of your final grade, and 6% of your final grade will be given by your non-quiz clicker grade.

Your non-quiz clicker grade will be calculated as:

Non-quiz clicker grade = earned clicker points / total available clicker points x 100

In order for your clicker responses to count towards your final grade in this class you must register your clicker here (or by following the link at the top of this page).
