Prescribed fire is an important tool for foresters.  A recent article describes how decision analysis is used to decide when, where and what to burn. In one example, a number of areas in the Tahoe National Forest in California had been logged and were being prepared for replanting. Preparation included prescribed burning, and two possible treatments were available: burning the slash as it lay on the ground, or “yarding of and merchantable material” (YUM) prior to burning. The latter treatment involves using heavy equipment to pile the slash. YUM reduces the difficulty of controlling the burn but costs an additional $100 per acre. In deciding between the two treatments two uncertainties were considered critical. The first was how the fire would behave under each scenario. For example, the buyer could be fully successful, problems could arise which could be controlled eventually, or the fire could escape entailing considerable losses.

The following scenario list comprises two different teachers and the marking system each employs. List the advantages and disadvantages of each. Also, identify the approximate weights that you believe should be placed on each part of each system.

Ms. Wallace believes that every grade should reflect precisely what a student does or does not know. Therefore, her testing strategy is to administer criterion-referenced tests exclusively, in which the grade given reflects the number and type of concepts mastered. She then uses these grades to provide either remedial or advanced work to those who need it.
