What the hell is wrong with this sentence?!?! It's supposed to be grammatically incorrect!!
In this book the writer will describe how he developed the criteria that he feels is of greatest importance for the evaluation of economic policy. |

In this book the writer will describe how he developed the criteria that he feels are of greatest importance for the
evaluation of economic policy.
Criteria is the plural of criterion, so it should be plural "are" rather than singular "is". |

Isn't criteria plural? Criteria are, criterion is.
