ACADEMICS
The academics were asked to rank seventeen items selected from the
thirty item list given to graduates and employers. It is true that some
respondents reported that it was somewhat difficult to give a specific
ranking to certain items as they seemed equally important. The adequacy
of ranking versus weighting in this context is debatable and the difficulty
has been well understood. This is often the case when a long list of items
has to be ranked but it is clear that given that all academics faced this
same difficulty —and therefore some of the positions in the ranking were
given somehow at random within a specific range— aggregate results
should show this same close positions in the final ranking (and no
significant differences between the ranking of these items as it will be
shown in results).
