Peer Instruction
Peer instruction sessions are held during lectures, generally on Thursdays. The
format will be described in detail at the time of each session, but it generally
consists of each student answering questions individually and in a group. The premise
is that groups perform better than individuals! We organize peer session by assigning
students to groups.
iClicker Registration
Register your iClicker on Canvas. The remote ID is the number found on the back of your iClicker
remote. If you cannot read the ID on your iClicker, there is a kiosk in the bookstore where you
can retrieve it. Here is a list of iClickers that appear not to be registered. If your iClicker
is on this list, please try to register again, then send me email:

Piazza Forums
This term we will be using Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and
efficiently from classmates, teaching assistants, and myself. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff,
I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza. If you have any problems or feedback for the developers, email
team@piazza.com. Piazza will be accessed via the Module tab on Canvas.
