Question
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.
What are the disadvantages of implementing an absolute measurement plan within this system? Please provide three disadvantages and discuss in detail using scholarly sources.
Explanation / Answer
In case of distance learning, you don’t get the right feel/ synergy between the student and professor, hence every time, for every question, the assessment may have certain gaps, which could spoil the impression on either side and take the result down for the student Communication gaps often occur, like improper speaking/ listening due to human error or technical glitches. This can affect in the wrong question or answer understood, which will ultimately affect the student, not the professor Body gestures, body language, tone of speaking and understanding in short questions and answers can be Ok, but for long or detailed discussions, this really always does not practically work. Hence, these glitches affect both the evaluator to come to right decision and for the student to understand on the question point.
