Poll Time!

Throughout seminar, I may do a poll.

A poll window will pop up on your screen, with a question, and below you will have choices to select.

The purpose of polls is to reinforce key information that I feel is important for you to know.

Please do not type your answer in the class activity box for everyone to see.

The polls are completely anonymous, no one knows who votes how (including me), so don’t worry if you don’t get one right…it’s ok
