Clickers Only

We will be using Echo360 PointSolutions response devices, otherwise known as clickers, for this class.  If you have already purchased a clicker and registered it, then you do not need to purchase another clicker nor do you need to register it again.

  • Set your clicker to the correct channel each time you’re in class

Academic Integrity

Cheating is taken very seriously at the University of Arkansas.  For more information about Academic Integrity and the penalties you may face for cheating, please visit http://honesty.uark.edu. I consider bringing another student’s clicker to class to be cheating and a violation of the Academic Integrity Code. If you are caught with a clicker other than your own or have responses in a class that you did not attend, I will forward your case to the integrity office, and you may forfeit all clicker points and may also face additional disciplinary action.
