Wow, it says not found. I guess I haven't been doing anything in class for the past bit when we were doing iClickers.

I suggest re-registering it. But I'd check with you prof to see if he has anything recorded for you

What did you use for the student ID section? Your MacID or student number? It should the the MacID. If it still says that, I would re-register it as soon as possible. And don't worry, I remember in Chem last year, there was something like 40 people who weren't properly registered with their iClickers, but they registered again by a certain set date before exams, and the prof was was able to give them the mark for the participation. Don't ask me how they track it though, I have no idea =$

Oh...it's a participation mark? I thought it was however many you got right out of the total, counting for 3% of the mark. In any case, I've already missed half the term for some reason...:(.

Each iClicker has it's own unique ID and is saved each time you submit an answer. So you can still use it even though its not registered to your macid. Your not missing out on easy marks...unless of course you never link it lol so do it before exams!

If it's for participation, you can probably ask the IA or the prof to check the number on your iClicker against their recorded totals.
I made the mistake of reg'ing my student number instead of ID. When I went to the IA, he just matched the number on my device to his list of "unknowns" and attached my name to it. Then I went to the website and changed it there, too. He had a list of 25+ unknowns in a class of 300-ish.
HTH.

Wait 'til the end of the course and look at your i-Clicker mark. If it's not 0, then you registered it properly
