Group Member Preferences

You must complete this by noon on Thursday January 26.

In order to be certain that I receive your e-mail, you should use ecst webmail to send your e-mail to me.  E-mail from ISPs does not always get delivered on time!

If you forget to submit your preferences, there is a very good chance you will be in a poorly selected group.

What you have to do:

Send an email to tyson@ecst.csuchico.edu with the subject "330 group preferences" and a body that follows the following format, where you are student m and there are n-1 students.

last name, first name
0, <desire to work with student 0>
1, <desire to work with student 1>
...
m, 100
...
n-1, <desire to work with student n-1>

Where the desire should be an integer 0-5 defined as follows:

0: really don't want to work with this student
1: rather not work with this student
2: don't care
3: would like to work with this student
4: really want to work with this student
5: really really want to work with this student, just put me in his/her group

Give yourself the score of 100 (even if you don't want to be on your own team).

For example, assuming we have 5 students, and I am student 3,  my e-mail have the form:

Henry, Tyson
0,2
1,3
2,5
3,100
4,0


Your answers are strictly confidential.  I will NEVER share them with anyone.

What I do with your answers:

I have a brute force program that searches the preferences of all the students to find groupings that satisfy the largest number of preferences.

I will then use your answers to the survey questions and the groupings generated by my group selection program to assign groups.
