ECS40, Introduction to Software Development

Introduction

Grades

Here are the course grades, listed using the usual identification mechanism.

According to University rules on confidentiality, I cannot send grades over email, as the grade can then be associated with an individual (no, regular email is not secure). However, if you have PGP and have a key signed by a faculty member, systems support staff member, or a security lab member, send me the key. After I verify it I will send your grade via PGP. (If I can't verify it, I won't send you the grade, of course.)
