Notes: High achievers are those with GPAs A, A+, B, B+ while low achievers are those with GPAs C, C+, D, D+ and F. Senior faculties include full and associate professor, while junior faculties include assistant professors and lecturers, *: p value < 0.05: significant, P1: High versus low achievers, P2: Senior versus Junior faculties, P3: Total test students versus total faculties, a: items 7, 9, and 10 were not supported by memes.
