MIS 3534 – Thank you!

Dear all,

I have competed grading of Executive Report #3 and entered the final grades to Gradebook and TUPortal. You should be able to check yours at MIS Gradebook (http://community.mis.temple.edu/gradebook) right now and tomorrow (Dec 17) at TUPortal.

I am currently travelling in Europe for conferences and were not able to write comments to your reports. I apologize for it. If you’d like to know my comments, please let me know, and I will provide them after I get back to the states next week.

Please be advised that the final grades are firm and final. Under no circumstances will the grades be changed. I will not respond to any request for a higher grade or extra credits.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your hard work and contribution to my class so far. This semester was one of the best for me thanks to all of you! I very much appreciate it.

Like I said last Monday, if you’d like to keep in touch with me, please connect with me via LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/minspang.

Once again, thank you, and I wish the best of luck in your continued studies, career, and future endeavors.

Best regards,
– min-seok
