Your university is considering two projects to increase enrollment: offering traditional classes from midnight to 6 a.m. or offering house call classes where the professor would visit your home to provide instruction

Use a simple scoring model with at least three criteria to evaluate these two potential projects and indicate which project should be chosen.


Answers may vary widely. A simplified scoring model ranks criteria according to their relative importance. Each project is evaluated for performance on each criterion and an overall score for each project is computed by summing the products of each score times its weight. A simple scoring model might be as follows with House Calls narrowly edging out Midnight Classes.

Project Criteria & Weight Score Weighted Score Total Score
Midnight Classes Time 2 2 4
Cost 1 1 1
Market Potential 3 2 6 11
House Calls Time 2 3 6
Cost 1 3 3
Market Potential 3 1 3 12
