MGTC46

March 30th Tue 5-7 in MW140

so it was really warm at 5:00 and some of the students jokingly said "let's have class outside", I responded "yes", which may have caught them off guard, but i thought it would be OK so we did - just to prove you don't need fancy technology to get the message across ... it turned out OK, and actually i noticed that we had the highest percentage (compared to previous classes) of everybody participating with useful comments, - which is always a good thing
... to C46ers, Thanks, i really enjoyed teaching you this term..WTGR
- and thanks to Nisha for the notebook and thanks to Christine for the pic

In the last few weeks, i might not have the time to give a long reply to each email (because so many people are emailing), so if you just get a quick "ok", or "thanks", understand that i got it, read it, and will give you marks for what you sent

- remember if you want to get marks for useful comments on the videos, leave your first name and last initial and indicate you are in MGT C46
- if you send general emails for class participation, and they are the kind that may end up on the site - give consent for that in the initial email
- if you want your pic used (optional) send it the first time
