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.

​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.

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a)The overall teaching rating of the assignment = 310
