First of all, I shall solve level 2 using AHP


Level 2:
Assumptions:
1. Teaching is between strong and very strong important to course
content.
2. Utility for career advancements is extremely important to course
content.
3. Feedback is equally important to course content.
4. Utility for career advancements is equally important to teaching.
5. Teaching is moderately and strong important to feedback.
6. Utility for career advancements is strongly important to feedback.
