“…I dont want to be rude, but i cant shake the feeling that i've been compelled to buy a $45 attendance taking device (not to mention the wasted class time), and am being tricked into not realizing this by wrapping it all up in extra credit. It took me five hours of lifting 50 pound boxes of produce at Big Y so i can have this clicker, and we barely use it (once per class for attendance). There are others who are far more militant than I am.“ - STUDENT
