In this repeating activity, clickers are used in lecture to test for understanding and encourage participation.  Professor David Harrington uses "clicker questions" 3 times per lecture to engage students directly with material. 

Is lecture going too fast?  Too slow?  Clickers and polling can be used to get feedback from students on how lecture is going. 

This Statistics 100 project has students develop an interesting question and analyze it with either an existing dataset or an original study.  Students create a poster and display their results in a setting that approximates an academic conference.
