M-2 Feedback to TPT Trial

I liked it - it forced me to be better about paying attention and not letting myself get distracted.

I like using the clickers because they keep me engaged and thinking about the material.

I liked it, especially the question that brought up the relevant M1 anatomy and the skin segment material. It would definitely help (at least me) to have those sort of quick reviews about previous material that coincides with the topic being taught.

I thought the clickers were great. I think it keeps things lively and allows students who are too shy to talk in class a chance to participate.

I would like more of it esp. if its M1 stuff to start thinking about for the boards.

Loved it, thanks!

Worked okay. It would also be nice to have questions pertaining to the newer material as reinforcement if possible.

Any Questions?
