Hate that shit. One prof made us buy one (he took attendance with it and made that 20% of the grade, bastard) and the next quarter they university switched to a different brand and none of us could sell back our $50 clickers. FUCK THAT SHIT.

[–][deleted] 151 points152 points ago

The 50 dollar bit sucks, but 20% of the grade from attendance? Sounds like an easy 20% to me.

Mine did it streaming and the recording plus slides went up when it was done.

[–]derekg1000 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

that is cool. There have been more then a few times where i overslept a class by like 10 minutes (50 min class) and just didnt go because by the time i was ready and got there, the class would be almost over. If though i could just sit down in my chair and start streaming the class, i would without a doubt do that. This is obviously a bit of a slippery slope because people would then never go to classes at all and just stream them instead. is that such a bad thing, im not sure.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

is that such a bad thing

Yes, because then eventually the whole idea of a campus becomes obsolete. Without students living on campus... they can't charge thousands of dollars for the slop they feed you in the cafeteria, thousands of dollars for a tiny shared room, and hundreds of dollars for a parking space miles from your dorm.

[–]penzoilthehippo 10 points11 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know. I've had some amazing professors teaching 500+ size classes. It's extremely difficult to keep attendance up.

EDIT: Some of you are a little cynical here. I've had 10-20 person classes that I never attended because they were so awful due to bad teaching. I'm sure you have as well. I'm not saying all of my large classes were amazing, but it was definitely the professors that affected my learning and knowledge retention - not the size of the class I was in.

[–]Patrick_M_Bateman 35 points36 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not the professor's job to keep attendance up. The professor's job is to enable those students who care to learn the material to do so, then to evaluate their grasp of the material at the end of the course.

It's bad enough that high school is daycare; let's not make college one too.

Profs have so much individual control of their class. I still to this day hate the ones who made us fucking waste our money on shit like this and still appreciate the ones who actually went to lengths to save us money.

I once had a professor who had us buy this weirdly expensive book (thin, paperback, you'd think it would be like $15 max but it was like $50) it was near the end of the course and then he cancelled us reading it and gave us a printed copy of something else to read. Fuck that.

[–]learnyouahaskell 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

One of my physics professors bought several copies of a book (Optics by Hecht) and put them on reserve in the library for us to use. He also photocopied the few pages of problems we would use from the official class text (Ph. of Vibrations & Waves by H.J. Paine). On the first day of class, I think, he told us we would not need to buy the class text and that we could return it if we already had: "Everything you need I will present in class."

[–]Trollfailbot 27 points28 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

We had something like that at my university and one professor would put up a ridiculously stupid question each day, randomly throughout the time slot, to test attendance. Everyone just started going every other day, having their friends go the other days and would have one person answering the question two times or more (one for each of their friends clickers).

One day the professor brought up the statistics for that day and noticed something odd: 400+ students answered when clearly half of the auditorium was gone (indicating far less than 400 students). He laughed it off.

[–]Sir_Landshark 27 points28 points ago

Hey we had something like that too at my university except the kid using multiple clickers was expelled and his friends were put on probation for academic dishonesty. No one laughed.

[–]shydescending 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I had a 300+ art survey class where attendance was taken by everyone submitting a little drawing on a note card of whatever slide the prof put up that day. I always went to class because it was sandwiched in between two others and I had no reason not to, but damn if I didn't usually do at least 2 or 3 drawings for missing friends.

Mine was $15 bucks too, but there are different brands and different classes require different brands. Some poor students are walking around with 3 or 4 different clickers.

[–]sexybobo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Larger colleges get a bulk discount. The college I use to work for was smaller and the cheapest clickers we could get were $35 each but you could also just use your laptop to answer instead of having to purchase the clicker.

The best part about iClicker portions of lectures is picking "E" on questions with only 4 possible answers, especially when the teacher chooses to display how many people picked each answer.

There's always like 4 or 5 kids in a 400 person lecture hall that do this. True bros know what's up.

[–]umsco226 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You were one of those guys? If it was purely a participation mark I understand, but when the prof took a portion of the mark and applied it to the grade for right or wrong, I always wondered the "motive" of the bros. How far were you willing to go?

[–]rydan 32 points33 points ago

Back in my day we didn't have iClickers. We had to use networked Ti-83's.

Ti-83 is a model of graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments. I assume he's kidding as the Ti-83 never had wireless to my knowledge and I can't imagine hooking a class full of calculators together...

[–]rydan 2 points3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When I took Physics back in 2000 my school had a network port built into every chair. You plugged a special link cable into the calculator. You also had to put special software on the calculator so it could communicate with the main computer. I think everyone had user number and pin number they used to sign in. You'd then use the calculator to input your answers. I think they started using clickers one or two years later.

I assume the system is the same otherwise but after the question was answered the professor could show a graph of how many correct answers were given and knew who got them right or wrong.

Edit: Adding link to a course syllabus mentioning the system.

[–]amirahfusion 42 points43 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

funfact: The clickers are physics professor's way of 'engaging' the students during lecture (same for other subjects). Much physics education research has shown that lectures don't work because students aren't engaged in what is going on...they just sit and listen to the professors say "wa wa waa, wa wa wa waa" and not much learning happens. So instead of changing the class structure to better suit learning (no lectures...recitations and labs that are longer and more hands on), they just added these clickers and convinced themselves that they've addressed the issue. I'm not really sold on the clicker-solves-all-our-problems deal.

[–]amirahfusion 2 points3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm getting my phd in physics (course focus on Astro and particle physics) but my research is in undergraduate physics education. I'm one of only a few pursuing the same degree. I thought it was important to get the phd in physics to prove mastery of the subject. But my passion is teaching physics. I suppose if astrophysics was more like traveling in space like star trek I would have stuck with it. Unfortunately it mostly involves pointing an instrument up and getting data points. Not quite as fun...

It's really just a tiny shitty radio. I'm surprised someone hasn't brought a radio jammer to those classes yet. It's only 915MHz, which is high enough frequency that you would only need a roughly 32cm long antenna.

You need an iClicker-like device for a course that is mandatory for all undergrads at my uni. Luckily, the library just lends them out!

Force of Static Friction = μs x Force Normal

Force Normal = Mass x g; g= 9.8 m/s2

Force of Static Friction Front = .5 x 9.8 m/s2 x 50kg (40kg + 10kg) = 245 N

Force of Static Friction Back = .7 x 9.8 m/s2 x 40kg = 274.4 N

The Back Seat

Edit: Clarified where 9.8 came from and added units

which is a bigger number? 28 or 25?

Ill do the math for you to simplify this comparison; 28-25=3, 25-25=0;

which is bigger? 3 or 0?

Get in the back seat.

More useful in a practical situation: You must accelerate ~6.86 ms-2 to make her fall off.

G doesn't matter. Unless it is zero of course, in which case both seats are equivalent in regards to the question.

[–]astroNerf 15 points16 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The question does not state whether Rebecca and her friends are entering a black hole. If she were, then the gravity in the front set might be different than the back seat.

[–]AlphaKlams 3 points4 points ago

Well technically she can take either seat. Therefore, the question would be irrelevant because both choices would be correct. Although I guess it might be a good question in some kind of theoretical quantum mechanics class or something.

Ours are called PRS clickers and you're right, 50$. But on ours there's a bit more buttons, and we used them all the time in Ochem for entering strings of letters (like ACFDER) for answers to line reactions. The greatest part is the most popular answers show up once everyone has submitted. So if you got 10 or so people together, you could put up any word you wanted on the board. ASS FUCK was always a popular one...

[–]i_am_moon 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Haha, oh iClickers!

I used to love when the teacher would put up a question but forget to stop the voting when they were talking. After about 30 seconds, the little graph that shows everyone's answers would start going erratic as people just mashed buttons to make the charts bounce around.

[–]Saiphix 4 points5 points ago

Well, she's kickin' in the front seat, whereas if she chills in the back seat she'll be in a state of rest and wont generate static electricity through friction?

Even though the "vote accepted" button flashes, I'm always paranoid that my vote didn't go through and thus proceed to mash the button about 50 more times before the voting closes.

My physics teacher is a tricky/funny bastard when it comes to questions.

He keeps going on about this young girl, Sally, that resorts to tossing every single item she acquires into the air and lets us calculate the damage, velocity, distance and everything relevant. On one quiz, she ruined two cameras, her old one and the new replacement.

On a different pop quiz, silly Sally decided it would be a good idea to release a live mouse on to a ... cat racing track (do they make those things) and again, let us calculate the results of her misbehavior. It has been branded into the head of every student that attends his classes that this Sally is a bringer of destruction, chaos and calculations.

He also figures it's a good idea to make results sound improbable and silly, like the boat that decelerates from 40 km/h to nil in 2 seconds, and the airplane that reaches an altitude of 20 km in 3 seconds. It's highly disturbing and usually ends with me spending too much time trying to figure what I'm doing wrong.

Trollteacher.
