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.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The criteria for our simple scoring model will bee the following:

Project 1. Midnight to 6:00AM

CRITERIA.  WEIGHT  SCORE

-Number of teachers  3  3

-Teachers salaries.  3  3

-Classroom cost.  1  1

-N. Students    2  2

Project 2. Home visit.

-Number of teachers  3  3

-Teachers salaries.  3  3

-Transportation.  3  3

-N. Students.    3  3

As we can see in the tables, project 1 is more feasible because depending on the number of students, the school can use one or two classrooms which means hiring teachers according to the number of students registered in a class.

On project 2, the variables increased the costs and the risk because depending on the number of students and the classes needed, the school would have to hire many teachers for different class times. This could be exponential. Another issue to consider is the fact that on project number 2, the school has to pay for the transportation of teachers to the student's home.

So in general terms, project 1 is more feasible.
