Document Summary
Understand and be able to define what criteria are. Explain the difference between ultimate criterion and actual criterion. Evaluative standards that can be used as "yardsticks" for measuring what we care about. Theoretical construct that includes all aspects of the construct. When we fail to measure things that do matter. When we measure things that don t actually matter. If a blender is broken and the smoothie maker is evaluated on that. How much overlap there is between ultimate criterion and actual criterion. Needs to be sensitive in order to detect differences. If the things you are evaluated on don"t seem fair, this is an issue. The difficulty of completely and accurately capturing a criterion of interest (the ultimate criterion) with the actual criterion measures. Overlap as much as possible with the ultimate criterion. But they should not overlap with each other. You should not have multiple measures that are all getting at the same thing.
