For class participation, you may also use the Turning Technologies ResponseWare application from your laptop or smart phone. A ResponseWare license can be purchased at the bookstore. You must then create a ResponseWare account at rwpoll.com  If you need instructions, see the following tutorial. 

 

 

You must also register Device ID to be included in the class polling roster.  You will need the Device ID located on the back of your response unit or provided when you created your ResponseWare account.  When you register, you will need to know your Device ID, First Name, Last Name, and Other Info (which is your student number printed on your KWC ID card).  In addition, the Instructor Email is johnsonb@kwc.edu and the class is PHYS 1302 – Physics And The Arts.  If you need instructions, see the following tutorial. 

 

 


Course Evaluations are an important component of our instructional program. An on-line course evaluation system was developed to allow each student ample time to evaluate the course and instructor, thus providing the institution with meaningful numerical scores and detailed commentary while minimizing the loss of instructional time in the classroom. The evaluation window for Winter 2012 will open on Monday, January 16, 2012 and will close on Friday, January 20, 2012.  To access the system during this time, simply go to evaluation and proceed through the survey.  Be sure to close the browser tab when you are finished so that your responses are saved and you are given credit for the evaluation.  You will need to use your student number (on your KWC ID card) to log into the system; however, when you log in you will be assigned a random number that will keep all your comments and scores anonymous.
