(ii) _______ there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can lake, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem (iii) _______ a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence (iv) _______ . Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision. Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper (v) _______ procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember.
