Hi-

Our college has a policy that says, "Grades shall not be posted."  However,
after consultation with the administration I have found out that what this
REALLY means is that I can post grades if I do the following:

1.    Post only by student number (or code number) and not by name.
2.    Shuffle the posting order (so that the A's aren't always at the top.
3.    Have students sign a release form that allows me to do this.

Any student (I only have one this semester) who doesn't want his/her grade
posted must see me during office hours to get the score.

All best,

-Don.
