STUDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM (HITT)

The HITT questions are not a required component of your course grade, i.e. the exams, homeworks and quizzes account for 100%, however you may be able to obtain up to an additional 5 bonus points based on your performance on the HITT questions. HITT questions/responses will be officially recorded starting Wednseday, September 7, however, you are encouraged to obtain your remotes as soon as possible, since there will be practice questions during the first two weeks of the semester to help you become familiar with the system.

You should each purchase the HITT remote transmitter associated with the in-class student response system (the same system is also used by chemistry so you may already have the remote). This transmitter will let you respond to questions posed during class. Your response will be recorded. A correct response will get you 3 points while any (incorrect) response will receive 1 point.

Note that UF used to use "Turning Point" clickers - they are a different system and do not work in the physics building. To get the H-ITT credit you must register on the system. To register visit http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~hitt/ at your earliest opportunity and follow the instructions on that page. It is your responsibility to ensure that your remote is functioning properly and that you are sending on the correct channel (see web site above for link to instructions for setting the remote channel). It is recommended that you set the channel at the start of each lecture. Lights on the remote will indicate that your answer has been recorded on the system. To provide a measure of forgiveness for occasional technical problems with the HITT transmitter, 20% of the HITT problems will be dropped in evaluating your overall course grade. Your final HITT score will be calculated as follows:
