2.Participation Requirement: To earn the point value established above, students must respond to a certain percentage of questions in a session.

New upgrade! Two new levels have been added to the Participation Requirement; you may now choose levels of Very Lenient (one question answered) and Very Strict (all questions answered). Depending upon the total number of questions, i-clickerwill automatically calculate the minimum number of responses needed.

Example: If you enter “10” points in Number of Participation/Attendance Points per session and there are 10 questions in a session, a student must respond to 9 of the 10 questions in the “Strict” level to earn the 10 points. In the “Lenient” level, the student must respond to a minimum of 5 questions to earn 10 points.

Performance Points

1. Number of performance points for each question: This field allows you to enter the

default number of points students are awarded for any answer. These are different from participation points in that they reward students for performance by question, whereas participation points reward students for participation by session.

2. Additional points for each correct answer: This field allows you to reward students for

choosing the correct answer for each question, in addition to any performance points you award in for simply answering the question. In this example, students are given one point simply for answering the question (even if their answer is not correct), plus an additional 4 points for getting the answer right.

3.Cap Session Points: Here, you can cap the number of total performance points a student can earn in a single session. Example: If your maximum is capped at ten points, and you hold a 15 question session with each question worth one point, even if a student answers all 15 questions correctly, the most she can earn for that session is 10 performance points.
