Abstract
This paper compares two classes of Intermediate Accounting 2 that weretaught Spring 2009 at a regional state university in the Southeastern United States.In Class One, clickers were used every class meeting and in Class Two, clickerswere not used at all. Overall student performance in Class One was compared withClass Two, and each class was analyzed independently to determine relevantpredictors for success, or lack of success, within the class. Predictors included are:Grade Point Average (GPA); English Comp I (ECI); Male/Female (M/F);Cumulative Participation (CP); and Age. It was determined that the use of clickersdid not enhance nor diminish the performance of the students in Class One.Findings also show that only GPA was significant in predicting student success inthe class, and although 2/3 of the class said that they liked using clickers, theirCourse evaluations were less positive for Class One than for Class Two.
