I agree with the goal, but accomplish it differently: At the outset
I take all the blue books and fold the front cover (with the
student's name) over to the back. (I also grade all the question
1's, then all the question 2's, and so forth, so as to be more
consistent in how I assign partial credit.)

I e-mail their grades on request. They can access their grades
directly through the college Web site. Some students tell me that
doesn't work for them. I suspect user error, but it's easy enough to
respond with the grade. Actually what I e-mail is the complete
calculation of their grade -- exams, projects, quizzes, etc. They're
used to the form because I hand the same thing out on paper after
midterm exams and sometimes again right before the final.
