Honestly Clicking

Monday September 26, 2011 - Veronica Ponce - Marianopolis College Students are unfortunately often shy about saying when they haven't understood something in class. Using clickers to ask if they've understood gets results. There are some issues where students will only reveal their views anonymously through clickers as well.
