iClicker Information for CS 251

We will be using the iClicker Cloud system for recording your clicker responses. Students have to use the iClicker app. Physical iClickers no longer work with the iClicker system.

Please note: It is cheaper to purchase a subscription for iClicker from the W Store than by purchasing from the app itself.

In order to use the iClicker app, you must setup a free iClicker account. Instructions are available here.
Make sure you signup using your uWaterloo e-mail account. You can change the e-mail associated to your iClicker account by going to the iClicker Student webpage. Make sure your account has "University of Waterloo" chosen as the "Institution", your email address is your uwaterloo.ca address without using an alias (eg. use jsmith@uwaterloo.ca and not john.smith@uwaterloo.ca) and you included your WatIAM ID (not student number) in your iClicker account.

Once you have registered your (free) iClicker account, you must upgrade it to a voting account that you must pay for.

Information will be posted at the start of lecture for enrolling into the course on iClicker.

Note: You must attend the section you are ENROLLED in for clicker questions. Course staff reserve the right to give students a grade of zero for answering clicker questions in the wrong and/or multiple sections.

If you have any questions, contact the course ISC.

Academic Integrity Relating to iClickers

Note: iClicker responses are meant to be from students that are attending lectures. Students giving responses while not attending lectures is considered a violation of Academic Integrity. If we catch students using the iClicker app to give responses while they are not in lectures, we will forward this information to the Academic Integrity Officer for the Faculty of Mathematics.
