Final grades and best wishes

Your final grades and all their component scores are now accessible from the Blackboard "My Grades" tab.(See note** below.)

I enjoyed teaching you and invite you to keep me abreast of the successes and challenges you encounter in the future. The TAs and course clerks join me in wishing you a good winter break and a future of good health and prosperity. Special best wishes to those of you who are graduating this semester.

I’m in my office most of the time when school is in session and often during breaks, and you are always welcome to come in to discuss topics from the course or other matters. It’s usually best to call first, especially during intersession or other school vacations. You'll want to make an appointment or at least call first if you want to meet with me this Monday through Wednesday.  I'll be away from the office for at least a week starting sometime this coming Thursday.

ANSWER SHEETS: I plan to dispose of all unreturned 1a, 2a, and 3a exams at the end of the month. The papers include students' names, grades, and Albany IDs. In order to protect your privacy, I send it to a secure off-campus disposal facility. If you’d rather handle these documents yourself, either come in soon and pick them out or email me a request to hold them for you until it is convenient for you to come and get them.

(As a privacy advocate, I instituted this policy years ago to protect people's Social Security numbers. Nobody took me up on it then, nor has anyone done so since we changed to local ID's. Still, if you want your in-term exams and scantrons and neglected to get them when I returned them in class, you are invited to request them.)

I may post one last message on this BMgt341-L distribution list before it expires later this month.

Again, my best to you always.

Prof. M. Fogelman

**Note: Exam average is calculated using Exam 1, Exam 2 and Exam 3 values.  Each of these is the higher score of a pair, 1a/1b, 2a/2b, and 3a/3b, respectively.  Also, please ignore the "points possible" column for most entries, particularly "E Clicker points to add," which is actually calculated out of 10.01.
