least the minimum number of questions to receive participation points. They do not have to answer the questions
correctly. These points are awarded by session, not by question--the student either answers the minimum number of
questions and receives all participation points, or does not and receives zero participation points.
NOTE: Students can receive participation points for Anonymous Polling questions. Anonymous Polling questions
do not, however, have a correct answer and are therefore cannot be used for Performance Points.
In the My Settings area of the i>clicker program you can set a participation requirement by percentage of questions
answered. The minimum number of responses will be automatically calculated for you. From the Session Summary >
Session Settings tab, you can modify the minimum number of questions your students must answer in order to receive
participation points. You also determine the total number of participation points possible for that session. The minimum
number of questions required will be adjusted each time you delete and restore questions from your session.

TIP: We encourage you to utilize the participation/attendance feature which is designed to promote student
engagement and teacher-student interaction.
Performance Points are awarded to students by question for specific answers. Many professors use performance points
to reward "correct" answers. Performance points (if any) are assigned to each question individually. If you have already
set a point value for correct answers in i>clicker My Settings, you may simply select the checkbox next to the correct
answer and that answer choice will automatically be awarded the correct number of points. You may also assign credit
or partial credit for multiple answers by manually adding point values in the Points fields next to the answer choices.
