Description: The report studies the data and procedures used to select the recipient of the Award for Excellence in Teaching. Several biasing features in the data summaries and record keeping are uncovered. A new scoring system is proposed and an improved data processing system is detailed. A data monitoring system is proposed which includes sensitivity analysis of the scoring as the values of arbitrary input quantities are varied. (Author)
