Classroom Performance System and Questions

The Classroom Performance System (CPS) is a wireless response system that brings interactivity into the classroom. Students use the wireless response pads (which are essentially easy-to-use remotes) to answer questions during class, providing instructors with immediate feedback on how well they understand the material. Instructors can create their own questions for use with CPS, or take advantage of the questions provided by McGraw-Hill. A text-specific set of questions, formatted for both CPS and PowerPoint, is available via download from the Instructor area of the Chamberlin/Dickey Online Learning Center.
