class, Van Dijk et al.found that individual response, without peer discussion, was less effective than response coupledwith peer discussion.7 In a statics class, Nicol and Boyle found that while technology supportsactive learning, many of the advantages of this style of learning could be retained even withoutan audience response system.8The nature of upper-division engineering classes may reduce the benefits of audience responsesystems. Upper-division classes tend to be smaller than introductory-level classes, making it lessnecessary for instructors to use an electronic system to get responses from all students. Materialfrom upper-division classes may also be more challenging to represent in multiple-choicequestions. Beatty et al. discuss some
