Imagine that a philanthropist has given you, as the professor, $20,000 to distribute among the students in your class. The only stipulation is that you must justify the amounts you give to each student based on some sort of evaluation. Because you do not wish to be arbitrary or autocratic, you have decided to ask the students for input as you create the evaluation tools and processes. Provide ideas about the following items:
A. What performance factors should the evaluation consider? Why these?
B. How should the criteria selected in An above be measured? Weighted?
C. Who should be responsible for gathering data for the evaluation?
D. How should the evaluation be administered?
E. What guidance will these steps provide the instructor in deciding on the relative distribution of the money?
