Describe the performance domain of a university professor–i.e., what do they do? Keep in mind that teaching is actually only a small portion of their job…they teach 3 classes or so at most, so what else do they do to fill up a work week?
Propose a criterion (or several criteria) measure to be used in making promotion decisions (i.e., how would you evaluate their performance?)
Since you’re going to be making a promotion decision, would it be better to combine a number of criteria into one (i.e., form a composite criterion) or keep them separate (i.e., use multiple criteria)?
