Clickers

Please post your clicker questions on the page for the current week. It’s on the drop-down for the “Clickers” menu! TY!

Every Tuesday in UT-108 we’ll have clicker questions on the Video Lecture & Video Artist of the Week. YOU get to write the questions! (for EC points) You can write 1 Objective question and 1 Opinion question per week for 5 points each. If they’re solid questions! Turn in questions by 11:59pm Sunday night. Be sure to look at the already written questions and write something that hasn’t already been written. If you want to write EC questions, please use all 5 answer possibilities. I’ll select some of them to use in class on Tuesday. If you write a good question, you’ll get EC for it whether or not I use it in class.

• Objective Questions have correct answers that can be found in the videos.
• Opinion Questions ask for student opinions based on the ideas in the videos.

In class, everybody who answers an opinion question gets points for it. Everybody who Correctly answers an objective question gets points for it.
