5. How experienced are you in teaching with clickers? I’ve not used clickers at all. I’m just getting started with clickers. I’m comfortable with the basics. I’m a power user. 38 of 80
6. Which best describes your attitude towards teaching with clickers? I’m interested in using them regularly. I’m interested in experimenting with them a little. I’ll need to hear more about them before deciding to try them. I don’t think I’ll be using clickers anytime soon. 38 of 80
7. Your sister-in-law calls to say that she's having twins.Which of the following is more likely?(Assume that she’s not having identical twins.) Twin boys Twin girls One boy and one girl All are equally likely 37 of 80
12. Conceptual Questions Which of the following statements is TRUE? Sensory neurons outnumber motor neurons 20 to 1 because they must transmit afferent information to the CNS. Motor neurons outnumber sensory neurons 20 to 1 because every single skeletal muscle cell is innervated. There are almost an equal number of motor neurons and sensory neurons because every muscle is innervated, and also has afferent stretch receptors to inform the CNS about the length of the muscle fiber. Adam Rich,Biological Sciences,SUNY-Brockport
13. Critical Thinking Questions RR, a patient diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, comes in for follow-up. He brings his SMBG log book and you see that most of his pre-breakfast numbers have been high, around 200. After questioning RR, he says he has been waking in the middle of the night with a lot of sweating. The most likely reason for his high AM sugars is: Dawn phenomenon Poor dinner choices Not enough insulin in the evening Somogyi effect Incorrect use of BG meter Stuart Beatty, Pharmacology,Ohio State University
14. Critical Thinking Questions Which of the following is the best description of the purpose statement for this study? The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of diet and exercise and health perceptions of the elderly. The purpose of this study is to increase the participation in physical fitness activities among elderly Latinos. The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of elderly Latinos regarding physical fitness, physical activity, and exercise. The purpose of this study is to look at and compare cultural barriers among Latinos and elders from other Hispanic cultures. Linda Johnston, Nursing,USC-Aiken
17. Prediction Questions How many alcoholic drinks (on average) do you think your peers consumed at their last social event? How many alcoholic drinks did you consume at your last social event? ResaWalch & Amanda Tapler, Health & Human Performance, Elon University
23. Which of these approaches to engaging students would you like to try? 1. 2. 3. Picture Choice 1 Picture Choice 2 Picture Choice 3 Picture Choice 4 Picture Choice 5 Picture Choice 6 4. 5. 6. 39 of 80
29. Which of the following (would) make agile teaching with clickers challenging for you? Mark all that apply. It’s too chaotic. I prefer to have my lessons well planned. I worry I won’t have time to cover what I need to. My students would prefer to take notes and figure things out later. I worry I’ll find out my great explanations aren’t so great. None of the above. I agile teaching. 39 of 80
30. “Anticipate likely incorrect responses and prepare ‘talking points’ for discussion as this facilitates ‘thinking on your feet’ and makes more visible to students how an expert uses heuristics, reasoning, and refined problem-solving skills to gain command of a clinical situation.” Gregory DebourghNursingUniversity of San Francisco
33. Student Perspective Questions During how many days a week do you get 30 minutes of exercise? Your daughter is in an abusive relationship. Which of the following do you say to her? Corly Brooke,Human Development & Family Studies,Iowa State University
39. “[The students] raise their hands much more often, they’re discussing things much more, they’re participating more than they ever have.“ John MaggioDentistrySUNY-Buffalo

41. Why Clickers? Crouch & Mazur (2001) – Harvard Univ., calculus-based physics courses, started using peer instruction in 1991
42. Why Clickers? Stowell & Nelson (2007) – Eastern Illinois Univ., clickers vs. response cards vs. hand-raising
43. Which best describes your attitude towards teaching with clickers? I’m interested in using them regularly. I’m interested in experimenting with them a little. I’ll need to hear more about them before deciding to try them. I don’t think I’ll be using clickers anytime soon. 36 of 80

http://is.gd/19h0f Around the 3:10 minute mark, high school science teacher Walter Wagner estimates the probability of the large hadron collider destroying the Earth at 1 in 2. The response: “I don’t think that’s how probability works, Walter.” Then several clips of news shows taking Walter seriously.
“Enchanted World” by Carf
Adam says the correct answer is A. “Note: again a 2-part question. For this there is some memorization-they are taught that the most numerous neuron is the sensory neuron. However, how can that be remembered? As I review the question I try to pointout the logic…every single muscle fiber DOES have a motor neuron innervating it, but motor neurons certainly stimulate more that one fiber each, and this is called divergence. But here MUST be more sensory fibers because we need to know so much about our environment for survival: touch, temperature, pain, stretch, tension, velocity of movement, and on and on.”
