MIS 24060 Classroom Presentations

• Both sections of MIS 24060 were visited at the
  end of Fall 2006 and at the beginning of Spring
  2007 (four total sections).
• Visiting on the first day of class has some major
  advantages so that will be our goal in the
  future.
• Attendance was a total of 19 in the fall and a
  total of 35 in the spring yielding 54 total
  student face-to-face contacts.
• Some feedback was gathered on a short
  questionnaire.
