Lecture quizzes
Quizzes are given in every lecture and these quizzes count 15% toward your overall course score. To receive credit for the quizzes you must properly register your TurningPoint ResponseCard, as described below. Note also that to receive credit you must take the quiz in your lecture section (A1, A2 or A3); quizzes taken in other lecture sections will not receive credit.
TurningPoint ResponseCard Registration
Registration of your TurningPoint ResponseCard is done through Blackboard, at
It will ask for your Response Device ID; this is the 6-character string on the back side of the card, below the bar code.
Your card must be properly registered in order to receive credit for quizzes given in each lecture.
If you replace your clicker (due to loss), be sure to register the new clicker and email your lecture professor with your new clicker number. Failure to do so will result in 0 being recorded for your lecture quizzes.
Setting the channel on your ResponseCard
The channel number for all lecture sections (A1, A2 and A3) is 41. To set the channel on your ResponseCard, do the following.
- press "Ch" on the clicker
- enter the RF receiver channel number 41
- press "Ch" one more time
What the LED color on your ResponseCard means
- Green: Confirmation that the your response has been received
- Orange: The ResponseCard is sending and waiting for confirmation from the receiver
- Red: Response not received
- Green and Red: In Channel Changing mode
