Abstract

We analyze the problem of assigning faculty members to teach various courses in an accounting department. Often difficulties arise due to conflicting choices of course preference, scheduling preference in terms of time, etc. Based on selected evaluation information, we employ a rather different zero-one integer programming model to solve the assignment problem. This approach has the advantage of utilizing readily available evaluation or outcome assessment data to take into consideration the learning curve phenomenon, various competing needs and institutional constraints at very little cost. It can be easily implemented for the public institutions to which outcome assessment measures are administered on a regular basis.
