August 25, 2009 Archives

Remember, tomorrow in class, we're going to discuss the Aug 25 issue of the Tribune-Review.

There's a stack of free copies, outside the cafeteria right now. 



You can also read it in Reeves Library (or any regional library).

A response card, nicknamed a "clicker," is a hand-held voting gadget. I'll be using them as a quick way to assess your mastery of course material, so they are not optional.

It's my understanding that, over the summer, the bookstore was initially expected to handle the ordering process for those students who asked them to do so in advance, but apparently students found out it was much cheaper to order the devices themselves.

The ordering instructions are available on GriffinGate. The link below should take you directly to a PDF that explains all the details. (Note that option 1, order from the bookstore, is the one that students say is not viable anymore. So you'll need to try option 2.)

2009 Ordering Instructions for XRC-01 ResponseCard XR

If that link doesn't work, log in to GriffinGate, and look for the box "GriffinGate Home" on the left side.  In that box, click on "GriffinGate Help Guides - Downloadable Resources".  The ordering instructions are in the "GriffinGate Step-By-Step Guides" section.

Several students have asked me whether they can purchase other models, or whether they can purchase used models.  I honestly do not have the answer, and since this is the first semester SHU is using these cards, if you do buy a used model, please double-check that there's a return policy.
