click to view larger 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

 
HANDING IN THE FINAL REPORT I will come to UTSC Tuesday April 6th and sit in the office on the 3rd floor in the "part-time lecturers room" late in the afternoon, after 4:00, to around 5:00, and you can come by and hand in your reports.

My telephone number in that office is 416-287-7034

I will be at UTM noon til 2:00 at 905-569-4489

If you do not have someone in your group bring it then, it would be very bad ....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAHZSCaazpI Class participation marks 

In the final class I will ask, "did you learn something useful and interesting.... in the whole course"
- so you can make such comments through YouTube by commenting in response to this video i made the last class
- you can also comment, on other student's comments
- make sure in the comment you identify your first name, last initial (do NOT put your real last name on YouTube) and add MGTC46
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCxYyI_iWj0 Class participation marks are available to be earned up to Tue April 6th

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
