Clicker Adoption with Textbook Adoption – Wednesday, March 4

If you are planning to use TurningPoint response/clicker system in your classroom during the upcoming summer or fall 2020 semesters, please make sure the SU Bookstore is aware of this requirement as part of the required course materials. This is usually requested as part of the book adoption form and will help the Bookstore plan and supply enough inventory based on course enrollment.

When requested as one of the required course materials, your course will be listed on the Clicker Courses website and “Turning” account subscription/license and other purchase options will be listed with the required course materials in the bookstore text search for your course/section.
