Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Report
Course-Based Survey Option
The course-based option asks faculty members to respond to questions about student engagement based on a course taught during the current academic year. This
option is valuable for institutions that want to know more about faculty practices and student engagement tied to individual courses taught on campus.
Sample
The Frequency Distributions report is based on information from all faculty at your institution who responded to the survey based on their experiences teaching
either a lower or upper division course. Faculty who responded based on another type of course or who did not report the course level are not included in this report.
Survey Items
The items from the FSSE course-based survey option appear in the left column
in the same order and wording as they appear on the instrument.
Course Level
Frequency distributions are reported separately for faculty who teach
lower division and upper division courses.
Variable Names
The name of each
variable appears in
the first column for
easy reference to your
data file and the
FSSE-NSSE
Combined Report .
Count
The 'Count' column
represents the actual
number of faculty who
selected a particular
response option for
each item.
Response Categories
Response options are
listed just as they
appear on the
instrument.
Column Percentage
This column represents
the percentage of
faculty responding to
the particular option for
each item.

Disciplinary Area: Respondents identified the field/discipline
in which they teach their courses. These responses were first
coded into 84 specific fields/disciplines. Institutions had the
option to customize how these were collapsed into as many as
eight disciplinary areas. Institutions choosing not to customize
receive FSSE’s eight categories. All uncategorized fields go
into "Other" or "Unassigned fields/disciplines." In instances of
missing responses, the disciplinary area of one's academic
appointment is substituted. See the FSSE codebook for the
breakdown of disciplinary areas.
