Math 214 Spring 2008: Clickers 

We shall be using personal response devices (informally known as "clickers") to enhance student participation and promote student learning in this class. Here's an article from the Los Angeles Times you could read about them.

Each student will be assigned a specific clicker and should place a sticker and place their name on the clicker. You should answer all clicker questions with this clicker. Clicker participation is part of the HW & Participation portion of your grade (20%).
