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.
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 .
Response Categories
Response options are
listed just as they
appear on the
instrument.
Course Level
Frequency distributions are reported separately for faculty who teach
lower division and upper division courses.
