Can I give points for attendance rather than the correctness of a student's answers?

In TurningPoint Cloud the attendance points are called Participant Points.  

Our first step will be to show the Participant Points in the Results Manager.
  • Open the TurningPoint software
  • Click on the Manage tab
  • Click on Overview
  • Click on the check box next to Per Session under Participant Points
  • Click on the check box next to Total under Participant Points
Our next step will be to set the points for each session based on participation.
  • Click on the session file header in the Results Manager

  • If Participation is not expanded on the left, click on the triangle to expand it.
  • Under Participation Points: enter the number of points that you want for a student to receive for participation in the session selected
  • Under Session Threshold: enter the percentage of questions that a student must answer (not necessarily answer correctly) to receive those points
    • For example, if the session has 6 questions and you enter 50%, then the student must click in an answer to at least 3 questions in order to receive their points.
The software will then automatically calculate the participant points based on those rules.  You will have to do the same thing for all session files.
