iCLicker Instructions

1. It is important to get the iClicker and register it before class starts. We will be using the iClicker starting from the first lecture. Your use of the iClickers will be graded, and credit will only be given if you have registered your iclicker at the time of the lecture - previous lectures will not be regraded. Everyone needs to have their own iClicker. If you happen to have two, you should always use the same one for class. Two iClickers per person, or two people per iClicker, messes up the grading software and prevents you from getting credit.
   

2. GET THE ICLICKER (note the brand name is iClicker - no other clicker will work in this course). If you do not already have one they are approximately $30.50 from NJ Books and $35 from the Rutgers Bookstore. You can also buy a used iClicker and you can use an iClicker in more than one class. You CANNOT share the same iClicker with another student because the unique ID built into it must be associated with only one name.

3. If you already have an iClicker that was registered for the Fall 2011 term, you do not need to register it again for Spring 2012. See the registration page.

2. REGISTER THE ICLICKER

• Go to http://www.iclicker.com/registration/ (or link from iclicker.com) - see the form below.

• Enter your first name, last name and your Rutgers 9 digit student id (NOT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER).

• Enter your clicker id printed on a tag on the lower rear of the clicker. If you have an old iClicker that has lost its id tag, see the iClicker lookup tool. If this does not work, see Prof. Gilman at lecture to determine the ID number.

• Type the verification number on the screen.

• You will see an on-screen message confirming that registration was successful. Your rutgers ID is now tied to your unique iclicker ID.

• If you are using iClicker in another class, you need register only once for both classes.

• If you lose your clicker and get another, you must register again (and tell me).

3. Using the iClicker

• Pull the plastic tab on the back of the iClicker out, to activate the batteries.

• In class, turn it on with the on/off button - the solid blue power light will go on.

• When requested, respond to a question by pressing one of the A,B,C,D,E buttons - a green light will go on to show your response has been recorded. (A red light will go on if it has not been received, say if you try it at home.)

• No other students will know your response.
