The Student Experience in Brief:
Xavier
Active Learning
Each year the National Survey of Student Engagement
(NSSE) asks students at hundreds of colleges and
universities to reflect on the time they devote to various
learning activities. The topics explored are linked to
previous research on student success in college.
Results from NSSE can provide
prospective students with insights into
how they might learn and develop at a
given college. To help in the college
exploration process, NSSE developed A
Pocket Guide to Choosing a College to
provide students and parents key
questions to ask during campus visits.
The following responses were provided
by 367 randomly selected Xavier students on the 2010

Response rate (number of respondents divided by sample size) is adjusted for non-deliverable mailing addresses, students for whom contact information was
not available, and other students who were sampled yet unavailable during the survey administration.
b
This report is based on information from all randomly selected students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted and locally
administered oversamples (i.e., non-randomly selected students) are not included in this report.
c
Sampling error is an estimate of the margin by which the true score for your institution on a given item could differ from the reported score. To interpret the
sampling error, assume that 60% of your students reply "very often" to a particular item. If the sampling error is +/-5%, then the true population value is
most likely between 55% and 65%.
d
Percent of total respondents within each category. These results are not weighted.
e
Institution-reported data. This information was used to weight your Mean Comparisons, Frequency Distributions, and Benchmark Comparisons reports.
f
Students who identified their residence as "dormitory or other campus housing" or "fraternity or sorority house."

Interpreting the Mean Comparisons Report
Sample
Statistical Significance
The Mean Comparisons report is based on information from all randomly selected students
for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted and locally administered
oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included in this report.
Items with mean differences that are larger than would be expected by chance
alone are noted with one, two, or three asterisks, referring to three significance
levels (p<.05, p< .01, and p<.001). The smaller the significance level, the
smaller the likelihood that the difference is due to chance. Statistical
significance does not guarantee the result is substantive or important. Large
sample sizes (like those produced by NSSE) tend to generate more statistically
significant results even though the magnitude of mean differences may be
inconsequential. Consult effect sizes (see below) to judge the practical
meaning of the results.
Variables
The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as
they appear on the instrument. The name of each variable appears in the second column for
easy reference to your data file and the summary statistics at the end of this section. Response
options are also provided to help you interpret the statistics.
Benchmark
Items that make up the five “Benchmarks of Effective
Educational Practice” are indicated by the following:

Effect Size
Effect size indicates the
“practical significance” of
the mean difference. It is
calculated by dividing the
mean difference by
y the
pooled standard deviation.
In practice, an effect size of
.2 is often considered small,
.5 moderate, and .8 large. A
positive sign indicates that
your institution's mean was
greater, thus showing an
affirmative result for your
institution. A negative sign
indicates the institution lags
behind the comparison
group, suggesting that the
student behavior or
institutional practice represented by the item may warrant attention. An exception to this
interpretation is the “coming to class unprepared” item (item 1f.) where a negative sign is
preferred (i.e., meaning fewer students reporting coming to class unprepared).
Class
Results are reported separately for first-year students (FY) and seniors (SR). Institution-reported class ranks are used.

Educational Practice” are indicated
by the following:
LAC=Level of Academic Challenge
ACL=Active and Collaborative
Learning
SFI=Student-Faculty Interaction
EEE
Enriching Educational
EEE=Enriching
Experiences

Environment
Variable Names
The name of each variable appears in
the first column for easy reference to
your raw data file and the Mean
Comparisons report.
Sample
The Frequency Distributions report is based on information from all randomly selected
students (including those from census administrations) for both your institution and your
comparison institutions. Targeted and locally administered oversamples and other nonrandomly selected students are not included in this report.
Class
Frequency
distributions are
reported separately for

Count
The Count column
represents the actual
number of students
who responded to the
particular option in
each question. Counts
are unweighted.
Column Percentage (%)
This column presents the weighted percentage of students responding to the
particular option in each question.
Weighting
Weights adjusting for gender and enrollment status (and by institutional size for comparison groups) are applied to the percentage column (%) of this report. Weights are computed
separately for first-year students and seniors. Weighted results present a more accurate representation of your institution and comparison group students. Only the column percents are
weighted. The counts are the actual number of respondents. Because the counts are unweighted and the column percentages are weighted, you will not be able to calculate the
column percent directly from the count numbers. Additional details about weighting can be found on the NSSE Web site. nsse.iub.edu/links/institutional_reporting

All of my teachers believe that we should get the education that we paid for. I think that is very admirable
since they plan to attend every class meeting no matter the situation.

The teachers are very helpful. The only way a student would not get help is if they refused to get it.

English instructers should say exactly what they want. They shouldn't take off points for rhetorical
questions, when they don't even have a rule in the syllabus saying, "It's not o.k. to use rhetorical
questions." College is so annoying. I dont feel that I should have to take sciences, when I know for sure I
want to be a teacher. And they should include automatic toilets in the male dorms, I hate to smell
another man's piss. Instructers shouldn't cancell class just because it's raining too hard and expect us to
come to class prepared. St. Michael's Dorm at Xavier Univerity of New Orleans is a MESS. They have
poor laundry washers and on top of that there is only one for about 250 freshman. How can we wash
clothes with 3 working washers and 9 working dryers. It's ridiculous. The internet connection needs to be
better also. I find that annoying when I have to log back on every 4-10 minutes! The showers in St.
Michaels need to be better too. There are there are 3 shower rooms per floor--out of those 3 shower
rooms only 1 out of 4 of the shower stalls work. I shouldn't have to walk down the hall to make sure I
have hot water and a shower nozzle that works. There you have it: my college life. Not the best.

I think that Xavier should invest in more places that students can just relax and have fun on campus,
because other than the UC and library there is nowhere else to hang out.
Xavier University of Louisiana cares for every single student that belongs to their institute and they will
do everything they can to keep you on track.
Xavier University of Lousiana has the biggest family environment that I have ever seen. They make you
feel so comfortable coming to the school. They help you in every posssible way that they can.
:)

lecture and lab teachers need to get on the same page when it comes to the material they are teaching.
Lecture teachers should not read directly from the book for the entire class period. All chemistry teachers
need to be able to explain information more clearly and effectively.
Xavier's college experience is very boring

Xavier University is not only an excellent academic institution but also a place I call home with wonderful
teachers and friendly students. I am glad I made the choice to be part of the Xavier University.

My educational experience at Xavier has been a one in a lifetime chance and I plan to take advantage of
every opportunity given to me.
I really would not rather be at any other institution other than xavier!!
Wish there were better dorms and I wish that there was more fun activities on campus!!!!
I think being at Xavier Univesity is a great school. i like that it's an historically black catholic university,
its #1 at putting blacks in the medical field.
Xavier University of Louisiana is an institution that continuously reminds it's students how bright my
future can be with the proper educational background. I receive a lot of positive support from my
professors, especially my Organic Chemistry and Health Ethics.
N/A
I have not enjoyed the experience at Xavier overall. I would much rather be at a school that is not in a
bad area of town. There is not much of an atmosphere. It is not the school for me. My experience with
the chemistry faculty hasn't been the best. There are only a few teachers that are up to par. I enjoyed
my experience with the biology faculty. A lot of the other staff in the offices are rude. The dorms are not
kept up well. The campus is not a "pretty" one.
I just wish my school offers more of a social life and atmosphere more so that strictly ALL academics.
The academic focus is wonderful and is perfect. My only advice in order to keep more of is starting
students here, is to create a better social environment.
As I am a non-traditional student, I often feel that there are not enough programs in place to assist me
with academic preparation and advancement. My mind works differently from the way it did as a new
college student 20 years ago, and at times I've sought assistance but have not been given what I need
as an adult learner. Also, I often feel that learning and retention are not the focuses of my professors, but
rushing through a specific amount of material within the time allotted. Though I love my school, I have
been considering transferring to an institution that offers evening classes because of a career change.
Mature students have different needs than those of younger students who are advancing directly from
high school into collegiate academia. It would be valuable to implement study skills/academic
advancement programs specifically for us.
I feel that Xavier is centered around money. This first year hasn't been good for me. Some staff aren't
the friendliest.I also feel that Xavier is basically a Science based school. Other majors need attention as
well.

I truly believe that this survey can only serve as a reflection of my CURRENT school year experience as
this year, being my senior year, has been completely different from that of my previous three years, both
academically and socially. I just ask that that is kept in my during the evaluation.

The Financial Aid department, since I have been here, has received very poor reviews. The staff are
rude, rigid, and sometimes serve no help at all. They are unapproachable and almost always, at many
hours of the day, on lunch breaks. Making changes in this department could help with the overall bad
rapport between administration and students.
I feel that there needs to be more guest speakers for different classes.
I feel that Xaiver University is efficient in many aspects, yet is lacks as much as it has to offer. Xavier
University has a great prepatory pharmacy program and medical program but lacks in a active social
atmosphere which causes a larger problem than what is believed. Creating an open social atmosphere
by assigning more group projects allows students to become more diverse, aware of the views that
others have, and open to cultures other than one's own. Although a social life is not the primary purpose
for a University it is necessary; it allows students to create study groups with individuals that are
interested in classroom information as much as another student.
GEAUX XAVIER UNIVERSITY of LOUISIANA!!!!
having BET come on this campus is a disgrace, there are qualified and distinguished intellectuals that
have chosen to work here when they could work anywhere they want. harvard would not have mtv come
on this campus- if you want to be taken seriously by the rest of academia, then you need to cut out the
vapid pop culture that permeates this campus
none
I have really enjoyed my time at Xavier University. I would recommend this scholl to any one. The
teaching is effective and the professors ar able to assist you based on your learning style. I love X.U.
My educational experience here has been great but the administration is a pain in the butt!
Xavier has had a very large impact on my life and as an institution it is a great place to attend.
Many times the computer lab has computers that are not working. The level of comfort in the the library
is low and causes people to go to other schools to study. Campus life at XULA is for high school
students. It's not a very friendly school for students from out of state.
