EXERCISE 14.2: DELPHI METHOD FOR SETTING CUTOFF SCORES OBJECTIVE: To practice using a judgmental/empirical method for setting cutoff scores.

This exercise requires that you first complete the steps in Exercise 14.1. Next, the professor or some other “moderator” will summarize the initial set of ratings for the class. You will then be provided with the results and be allowed to make changes to your initial ratings based on your review of the summary results. However, you need not make any changes if you believe your initial ratings are still an accurate assessment of your evaluation of each of the items. The moderator will then compute a second set of summary statistics based on the second set of ratings.
