The China University Rankings are compiled and released by CNUR, and the eight evaluation modules cover many aspects of universities, from teaching quality to discipline construction to academic level, comprehensively evaluating the comprehensive strength and influence of universities.
Compared with the traditional ranking accumulation method, this method of rating-based and segmented classification evaluation has obvious advantages, which can more comprehensively show the strength and characteristics of each university, and has stronger authority and reference.
However, the authenticity and objectivity of the ABC university rankings raise some questions.
Some argue that the rankings focus too much on academic standards and annual public opinion, and ignore indicators that are closer to the needs of students and society, such as teaching and employment.
This has also led to obvious unfairness in the rankings of some schools, with some schools with weak overall strength but good public opinion ranking higher, while some schools with stronger strength but poor public opinion ranking lower.
In addition, in order to improve the ranking, some schools have adopted some improper means, such as seeking hype of public opinion or manipulating data to improve performance, which also has a certain impact on the objectivity of the ranking.
For students and parents, the ABC University Rankings can be used as a guideline, but not as the sole criterion for school selection.
They need to know more about the real situation of the school, including the faculty, teaching quality, subject construction, employment situation, etc., and make a decision after comprehensive consideration.
For universities, rankings should be a driver of development, not the only goal to pursue.
They should pay attention to the quality of their own education and the overall development of students, rather than engaging in false propaganda or data falsification in pursuit of rankings.
The ABC University Rankings can help the society understand the situation of universities to a certain extent, but they need to be treated rationally when using and referencing, and cannot be blindly superstitious.
At the same time, we also hope that the ranking agency can further improve the evaluation indicators, improve the objectivity and fairness of the ranking, and provide more authentic and reliable information for the society.
