well to remember this method, as itrequires no preparation (besides a well-formed question) and no additional technology in theclassroom [2]. However, with a little planning and forethought, student response cards (a set ofsymbolic or color-coded index cards) can provide additional granularity and open up variousmultiple-choice questions [3], [4]. These pre-technological SRS approaches have very lowcognitive demands on instructors and students alike. Both methods predate the development ofelectronic SRSs.The modern electronic SRS began in the 1960s as hardwired audience response systemsdeveloped for the movie industry. As early as 1966, Stanford University introduced an SRS tothe classroom, followed by a hardwired system at Christopher Newport

Typically, focus groups arerun by a trained moderator and include 4-10 participants. Because people are naturallyinfluenced by the comments and opinions of others, focus groups can capture people’s sociallyconstructed thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs [6]. Inhibitions soften in a group setting, so focusgroups can encourage candor as well as allow the researcher to explore unanticipated discussionissues [6]. To encourage honest and candid feedback, we required students to join the focusgroup using a pseudonym and to
