Register your iClicker on the course website. In lecture, you will be asked to respond to questions
using your iClicker. It is expected that students are in control of their own iClicker. Responses will
be marked for participation only. If you respond to 80% of the iClicker questions, you will receive
full credit for iClicker responses. This 80% threshold is designed to allow for occasions such as
missed lectures, forgotten iClickers, and iClicker malfunctions.
