Students comments for the use of Personal Response Systems during Lectures. Very good method of learning!!. It gave us the chance to test what we had learned and get some feed back on how well we knew the subject. It was a nice change from straight lecture! It is a new and interactive teaching.... along with fun it helped to discuss the question before it was answered that way we were able to argue and then have our questions answered. It made us think for ourselves which helps us to remember more. It gets everyone involved in the lectures stopping people from drifting off. It allows students to talk and discuss answers and encourages student input…..

What do I have to care for, before the presentation Have I rehearsed? Have I ticked the “InstaVote”. Did I checked the Keypad setup and test some clickapads? Is the show visible? Are the questions clear? Have I been too ambitious (check the time)?
