My students insisted that we use the Random Selector and the reason was just as unanimous. 'Because it's more fun.'"   Doug Witt - Marriott School of Business, Brigham Young University "RS gives the classroom a feeling of excitement and anticipation as the students become worked up in chants and cat calls as the selector spins and slowly comes to a stop." "It takes me off the hook from accusations of picking on students." "It helps me learn names and faces and keeps everyone on their toes." What students are saying about the Random Selector...      “Not only was it fun, but it did give me an extra incentive to be prepared for class. I didn't want to  be called on unprepared.”    “Although looking at the pictures fly by with dread... it was much more enjoyable than just trying to avoid eye contact with the professor.”           “The Random Selector made me sweat but it sure helped me prepare before going to class.  I think it is a great idea to have something like this in class because some people (like me) might have some comments or would like to share a thought in class but are too embarrassed to put their hand up.  So, I think that the Random Selector helps students to be prepared and also helps students to speak up."
