• iClicker. This is a standard iClicker, which is absolutely required for this class. It is an electronic device used for in-class polling, quizzes, etc.  One iClicker can be used by a single student for any number of classes at the same time and can be used again in future semesters. Each student MUST have his/her own iClicker and will need to bring it to class daily. iClickers can be resold and registered to a different student in future semesters.  iClickers are available through the PC Bookstore for $40. The PC Bookstore also has a rental program that allows students to rent the clickers for less than purchasing.   iClickers are available through Amazon.com for $34.51 new with free shipping for students.  iClickers are available through Walmart.com for $34.50 with free delivery to your local Walmart store.  Used iClickers are available for less on Amazon's marketplace or through ebay or other online sources.  I will base my class on the original iClicker or iClicker 1. There is also an iClicker 2 now available; if you have an iclicker 2 that will also work in my classes.
