Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way

to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made

by people to theretical ideal decisions to see how similar they

are Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions Although there are several

variations on the exact format that worksheets cam take, they are all

similar in their essential aspects

Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that 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 is determined 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

to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows
