Scoring Settings and Preferences
In this section, you are able to establish the point values earned for actively participating in class and for
answering questions correctly.
Participation (Session-Based) Points
Participation points are awarded to students who attend and vote during lecture (encouraging student
engagement). Participation points are awarded by overall session activity, not by individual question.
Session Participation Points: This eld allows you to enter the number of points students earn in
any given session for meeting the participation requirement, as dened in the Requirement to Earn
Participation Points below.
Requirement to Earn Participation Points: To earn the point value established above, students must
respond to a certain percentage of questions in a session.
Depending upon the total number of questions, i>clicker will automatically calculate the minimum
number of responses needed.
Example: If you enter 10 points in Session Participation Points and there are 10 questions in a session, a
student must respond to 9 of the 10 questions if the Students must respond to all but one question
radio button is selected.
Performance (Question-Based) Points
Performance points are awarded to students by question for specic answers. Students can earn
performance points without earning participation points, depending on your preference.
Points for Responding This option allows you to enter the default number of points students are awarded
for any answer. These are dierent from participation points in that they reward
students for performance by question, whereas participation points reward
students for participation by session.
Points for Correct
Response
This eld allows you to reward students for choosing the correct answer for each
question and are earned in addition to any performance points you award in for
simply answering the question.
Total Performance Points Here, you can cap the number of total performance points a student can earn in a
single session. Example: If your maximum is capped at ve points, and you hold a 6
question session with each question worth one point, even if a student answers all
6 questions correctly, the most she can earn for that session is 5 points.
You may choose to set these preferences for the entire term or just the current session. Your selections
on the Scoring Options settings will appear in the i>grader Set Session Scoring window for
subsequent lecture(s).
