When UW-Madison professor Jeffrey Henriques began his Introduction to Psychology class Wednesday morning, he asked students to answer a multiple-choice question displayed on a large screen at the front of the room.
Students considered the question and quickly began weighing in with their answers.
But they didn’t do it by raising their hands. In this class, that’s old school. Instead, nearly all of the 200 students in the lecture hall pulled out small, remote control-like “clickers” and began punching in their answers.
