1. Frank has delivered very dull lectures for several weeks of the semester. Only in the past lecture when he got to speak about his past nerve wracking experiences with perceptual errors have his lectures become interesting. It is now time to give student evaluations of Frank, and Daniel remembering that last lecture gives Frank an above average teaching evaluation. 2. Eric is the new supervisor of the late shift. He is 10 years younger than the five people he supervises and wants to show that he is going to be an exacting supervisor. In his first opportunity, to make a statement he gives satisfactory ratings to only one employee and below average ratings to the other four employees. 3. Monica is always the first salesperson to reach the office at the beginning of the day. This really impresses Jamie who thinks that promptness is the most important quality of a worker. Monica has more complaints about her by customers than any other salesperson and her sales lag behind other sales workers, but Jamie continues to appreciate her early arrival at work. Jamie gives Monica an outstanding performance appraisal and the other sales workers only a satisfactory rating. 4. Derek is the new supervisor of the morning shift. He has been promoted from the ranks and is friends with all five of his subordinates. Derek had previously received the only outstanding appraisals among all the employees, while the rest of his peers (now subordinates) received below average ratings. In his first time as a supervisor making performance appraisals Derek gives all his subordinates outstanding performance appraisal ratings.
