CPS Pad Required
This course will be using the eInstruction student response system. You will need to purchase a clicker (ISBN 978-1-881483-71-7) from the bookstore and bring it with you to every class session.The purchase of a CPS pad is NOT optional; it will be used as an integral part of this course. I will provide a short demonstration of how to use CPS in class.
Note: Students should purchase ONLY ONE “CLICKER” because the same unit can be used in every class that chooses to use the CPS system. Do NOT use activation system on the box, instead, refer to directions below.
After you purchase your clicker, you must register your clicker online for this class through Blackboard. Instructions for the registration process can be found here: http://www.unf.edu/dept/cirt/tech/srs/student.htm.
