I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Central Washington University (CWU) administered the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement to all CWU
tenured and tenure-track faculty and adjuncts during the spring quarter of 2014. This report compares faculty
responses to FSSE questions to student responses of the same or similar National Survey of Student
Engagement (NSSE) questions. The comparisons are in five sections:

Readers may be interested in specific sections and may perceive the magnitude of comparisons differently.
II. METHODOLOGY
A. FSSE Administration
The FSSE is “…designed to measure faculty expectations regarding the extent to which students at institutions
engage in educational practices empirically linked to high levels of learning and development.”
A copy of the FSSE survey is at: http://fsse.iub.edu/pdf/2014/fsse14_survey.pdf
222 CWU faculty completed the 2014 FSSE out of 703 invitations for a response rate of 32% and a sampling
error of ±5.4%. The average response rate for FSSE institutions was 48%.
An invitation email was sent to faculty on 4/22/14. Email reminders were sent to faculty who had not yet
responded on 4/28/14. 5/01/14, and 5/7/14.
CWU faculty responded to two FSSE questions that help categorize their responses.

B. NSSE Administration
The NSSE survey was emailed to all CWU first-year (1,513) and senior (2,244) students during the spring 2014
quarter. An invitation email was sent on April 9, 2014. Four reminder emails were sent on 4/15/14, 4/17/14,
4/23/14, and 4/29/14. All respondents received a 10% coupon from the Wildcat Shop (either in person or
online). In addition, thirty respondents were randomly selected for early fall 2014 registration.
The response rate to the survey was 17.6%. 1,513 first year students were invited, 315 gave full or partial
responses. 2,244 seniors were invited, there were 348 responses. In all 663 students responded out of 3,757
invited for a response rate of 17.6%. 184 of the senior respondents were enrolled in online degree programs,
35 of them responded for a response rate of 19%.

C. Report Format
The following tables are formatted as follows::
 The four left columns show the FSSE question and the percent of faculty who report that they agree
“Very much” or “Quite a bit” that lower division and upper division courses at CWU engaged students
in various methods depending on the question
 The four middle columns show the question number, question, and the comparable percent of CWU
first-year and senior student responses
 The two right columns show:
o the difference in faculty percentages [lower division (LD) and upper division (UD)] and student
percentages [(first year (FY) and seniors (SR)]
o the differences graphed in data bars that extend from minus 100% (student percents were
higher) to positive 100% (faculty percents were higher).
