For a number of years, audience response devices have been used in a classroom setting. There have been many innovative strategies employed.  In my classes, I have utilized audience responsive devices (clickers) for the administration of in class quizzes. In the past three years, trends have been identified that are quite insightful. A better understanding of what is going inside a student's brain when questions are asked is always beneficial to education.When students thinking processes are better understood, presentation and explanation of material can be adjusted. Professors always want students to understand material better but often have no methods devised to achieve that goal. Clicker data is a powerful tool to probe what goes on in a student's mind.This poster will show a number of questions asked via clicker. It will also show how the students responded. There will also be an analysis of what the presentation of the topic was and how students interpreted the presentation.  Finally adjustments in how the topic will be presented, based on students interpretations will be presented.
