Classroom Performance System Booklet and Book-Specific Questions. The Classroom Performance System (CPS) from eInstruction allows instructors to gauge immediately what students are learning during lectures. With CPS, instructors can ask questions, take polls, or host classroom demonstrations, and get instant feedback. In addition, CPS makes it easy to take attendance, give and grade pop quizzes, or give formal paper-based class tests with multiple versions of the test using CPS for immediate grading.

For instructors who want to use CPS in their classroom, we are pleased to offer a booklet containing strategies for implementing the system, specific multiple-choice questions designed for in-class use (tied to key concepts in the book), and classroom demonstrations that make use of the system. For a quick, easy demonstration of CPS, go to http://www.mhhe.com/cps.
