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 2212. Please note that you must register your ID code with your own lecture section; if you are in 2212, it will do you no good to register for 2211!
Once you have purchased you transmitter unit, you may register it for this class the PRS Registration Page.
- Enter you seven-digit (alphanumeric) GT account number (e.g. gte999b) on the first line.
- Enter you nine-digit (numeric) GT ID number (e.g. 901010101) on the second line.
- Select your proper course and section from the drop-down list.
- PRS Transmitter ID is the unique code found on the back of your unit.
The deadline for registering your PRS code is 10:40am, Monday, May 21. 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.
