Please contact me at 417-836-4899 to set up a 30-minute appointment that will take place in your office. I will be available for final FGE training until December 12. I am happy to be a resource to any instructor that would like to learn more about FGE. For instructors with prior FGE experience, I would like to clarify that the FGE system has not changed from the previous semester. Thank you!
