For some time now, audience response devices (clickers) have been used in a classroom setting. In my classes, clickers have been used for the administration of in class quizzes for a number of years. Students enjoy this form of quiz rather than the old paper quizzes primarily because of the instant feedback they get. Clickers can also be quickly graded and uploaded to the learning management system, making my job easier.This poster will address on cycle vs. off cycle students and how well they do on the ACS final. The hypothesis is that the on cycle students are brighter (higher ACT scores) and study as instructed better. Thus, they should do better on the comparison.The students will not be told any details of the ACS exam to keep its integrity intact. In this way student retention of information can be obtained.
