Data Destruction Confirmation Email

Hi teams,

Besides the confidential information destruction we discussed last week, we need each team to send one email to me (pamella@mit.edu), copying Ellen (ebaum@mit.edu) and the other team members to attest that all the team members have destroyed all confidential information in their posession, following the guideline of the MIT AL Data Destruction Policy I have uploaded to Stellar.

Please do this ASAP. We will not be uploading the grades until we have all those confirmation emails.

Have a great week!

Thanks,
Pamella

Thank you!

Hi E-Labers,

The Professors and TA want to thank you all for a great semester. Congratulations for all the amazing work!
Hope all goes well with the presentation to the startups and that you all enjoy you deserved vacation.

Jim also asked me to forward a message to all the class:

"First, thanks to all of you for such an enjoyable semester. It was great to meet you all and work together. Thanks!

A few of you asked for some book references that influenced me. Below is a partial list of books that changed the way I see the world. That, having read them, I could not see the world as I did previously. Enjoy!

The Human Web
Just six numbers
Eichmann in Jerusalem, the banality of evil
Plagues and Peoples
The autobiography of Malcolm X
Marcus Aurelius
Albion's Seed
Rise and Fall of the third reich
The shortness of life Seneca
In the name of war.

These can all be found on Amazon!"

Thanks!

Reminder: Class Evaluations + Confidentiality

Hi all,

Thanks for the fast response to the peer evaluations. I have already received 17/31! =)

I forgot to mention in my last email about the class evaluation and deleting all company confidential information. For those with computers in class today, we can give you 5 minutes to do both those things.

We look forward to getting feedback on how to improve the class experience from all of you.

Thanks and see you all soon!
