I specifically ask them at the beginning of the term if it would be okay
to "post" their grades (to the team folder) using an Excel spreadsheet
with a 4 digit identifier (which they make up) - no names, no identifying
information, and I usually scramble the Excel rows so that they can't easily
guess. I do this, not to get around FERPA, but to provide public
performance information. Given that no names or personal identifying
information is divulged, and that I have student consent for this format,
I feel comfortable (as do my students - no one has ever complained or
failed to give their approval). I keep two Excel sheets per class -
one has names on it (for me) and the other has the names
deleted...a partial example is provided below...this is the sheet I
provide to students after graded exercises

I did that last semester, and no one said a
thing.

Has anyone responded to a student comment regarding the
posting of team RA scores on the chalkboard is a violation of FERPA
laws?
Thanks,
