Daniel Glaser, chairman of the College of San Antonio's business department, needs to assign professors to courses next semester. As a criterion for judging who should teach each course, Professor Glaser reviews the past 2 years' teaching evaluations (which were filled out by students). Since each of the four professors taught each of the four courses at one time or another during the 2-year period, Glaser is able to record a course rating for each instructor. These ratings are shown in the following table.
|
Professor |

a) The optimal assignment of courses to professors that will maximize the overall teaching rating is:
STATISTICS = W.W. Fisher, D. Golhar, Z. Hug, N. K. Rustagi
MANAGEMENT = W.W. Fisher, D. Golhar, Z. Hug, N. K. Rustagi
FINANCE = W.W. Fisher, D. Golhar, Z. Hug, N. K. Rustagi
ECONOMICS = W.W. Fisher, D. Golhar, Z. Hug, N. K. Rustagi
The overall teaching rating of the assignment = __ (enter your response as a whole number).
b) The school does not want Professor Fisher to be assigned to the statistics class. Based on the assignment above, a change to the assignment (IS OR IS NOT) required to ensure that Professor Fisher does not teach statistics.
