      To respect the privacy of students, UCMP policy forbids the posting of grades in a manner which would allow them to be identified with particular individual students.  If you want to find out not only your course grade (which will be available through UMEG) but the amount of credit you received for the final exam, second essay review, class participation, etc. you must write an "alias" or pseudonym on your final exam booklet.  This information will be posted outside CSS 4341 and TLF 2117 about a week after the final exam.
