PHYSICS 2211 A - INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS I

Registering your PRS transmitter

Class participation and attendance will be monitored through a series of in-class mini-quizzes and polling-type questions. Data will be collected via an infrared Personal Response System (PRS), and displayed graphically in real time.

In order to participate in this response system, each student will be required to purchase a PRS transmitter from the bookstore. Each transmitter is hard-wired with a unique ID code, which will be used by the system to identify each student's input.

Once you have purchased your transmitter, you will need to register your transmitter code with your appropriate section of PHYS 2211. Please note that you must register your ID code with your own lecture section.

Once you have purchased you transmitter unit, you may register it for this class the PRS Registration Page.

Enter your seven-digit alphanumeric GT account number (e.g. gte999b) on the first line.
Enter your nine-digit GT ID number (e.g. 900456789) on the second line.
Select your proper course and section from the drop-down list. (This course will be listed as "phys2211a_kulp_fall06".
PRS Transmitter ID is the unique six-digit code found on the back of your transmitter unit.

The deadline for registering your PRS code is Monday, August 28. If you have not registered by that time, your name will not appear on the PRS roster, your class participation scores will not be recorded by the system, and you will begin losing credit for class participation!

DO NOT LOSE YOUR TRANSMITTER! If you should lose your transmitter, you will have to buy a new one (and they don't come cheap!). If this should happen, please notify your instructor as soon as possible to give him your new transmitter ID code.

As a final note: if you are unhappy about the expense of the transmitter units, please note that PRS system are being installed campus-wide by CETL. It is thus highly likely that you will have classes in the future which will require a transmitter unit. Since each unit is reusable for any number of courses, you will probably find it advantageous to hold onto your unit throughout your stay at Tech.
