assigned a Medium Level of Confidence. The instructor should indicate at the
beginning of a Session, or before a Question is presented, that he wants a
Confidence Level attached to the Response(s).

This InterWrite PRS User's Guide covers all aspects of the PRS system,
including the installation, set up, and troubleshooting of the hardware. A
chapter is devoted to the installation and set up of the InterWrite PRS
Web Registration Application, a Web-based application that makes it
possible for students to register online for those classes using the PRS
system, and the PRS Blackboard Registration Application, which makes the
export and import of information between PRS and Blackboard possible.
The primary focus of this User's Guide, though, is the PRS software. A
chapter is devoted to each of the four tabbed Sections of the PRS soft-
ware with detailed descriptions of each section's functions and proce-
dures.
Chapter One InterWrite PRS Overview This chapter introduces the
InterWrite PRS system, identifies the primary screen elements, describes
the Menu options on the PRS Menubar, and outlines the organization of
this manual.
Chapter Two PRS System Installation Both of the PRS hardware
systems feature Receivers and Transmitters, or Clickers. Both are easy to
install and operate. The Clickers are handheld, battery-powered devices.
AAA batteries are easily installed in the back of each type. IR Receivers
are connected to each other, if more than one is being used, to a power
supply, and to the serial port on the computer. The IR Receiver setup is
completed when the COM port is selected on the Connection Menu.
