The questionnaire was administered at the end of the summer semester by the
researcher himself who has been helped by the panel of jury members. The preliminary
results of the male questionnaire are in (Table 1).

6. Data Analysis
According to Likert’s formula, the relative weight equals (F1 X1) + (F2 X2) + (F3 X3) +
(F4 X4) / N X4 where: F1 refers to the 1st frequency *1; F2 to the 2nd frequency *2; F3 to the
3rd frequency *3; F4 to the 4th frequency *4; N is the total number of participants; and 4 is
the number of rubrics (Rodgers, 2001).
From the statistical analysis, the quartiles are used in order to score the questionnaire
items labeling them as low (0.25), low/medium (0.50), medium/high (0.75), and high (0.99).
The "relative weight" of 0.66 is considered as the threshold borderline in determining
challenging and unchallenging items.
