Case Study: The College of Business at VIP University

You are a newly hired professor with a Ph.D. in Human Resources Management. You have special interests in both training and performance measurement. You decide to develop a comparative performance measurement system to measure student performance in your HR Management classes. At the end of the school year, a student initiative calls for a revision of the grading system at VIP University. Every professor will be required to develop an absolute performance measurement system. The process is complicated by the fact that many students are distance learners who interact on the Internet rather than in person.
