How does the Biology 101 classroom work these days?

While science is always changing, the way we teach it changes too!

At a university, such as Ohio State, the lecturer might be teaching 600-700 students at one time! In the past this might have been a professor standing in front of everyone lecturing, and maybe writing on the chalk board.

As technologies have been invented, the lecturer now has the ability to interact with the class (even 600 of them!) and know instantly if they are understanding the information or not...by using Clickers!

The professor that teaches one of the Biology 101 sections really gets a good use of this technology. A multiple choice question can be shown on a PowerPoint, and after everyone answers using the remote (that they are all required to purchase), the professor gets instant feedback and can address confusing topics.
