What is a PRS Transmitter?

This class uses the Personal Response System to implement class participation.

When the instructor asks a question in class, students will be able to enter a number corresponding to their choice of the answer. The responses are immediately tallied and can be used to direct discussion.

For this course, you will receive credit for answering correctly and also for simply participating. So attendance and participation count towards your overall course grade.

Where do a buy a transmitter?

Transmitters can be purchased at the Textbook Annex. You can then sell them back to the Annex at the end of the semester.

Do I need to do anything after purchasing the transmitter?

Yes. After purchasing the transmitter, go to the OWL page and complete the PRS. It will ask you for your transmitter ID (see above).
