Congratulations

You all were the best FTMBA class I have worked with at Haas.

I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and miss the class. You will be with me for a long time.

Thanks for the opportunity to learn with you.

A word on grading as the team grades and individual grades often differed. Participation and assignment 1 was 35% of the total. The participation was graded and checked after every session. Insight and leadership was valued higher than the number of shares. The scores  varied significantly over the entire 10 sessions. The new curve system also forced distinctions that were close calls by the numbers.

All the best and do not be strangers
