Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Report

Sample

Survey Items Course Level

Variable Names Count

Response Categories Column Percentage Response options are listed just as they appear on the instrument.

This column represents the percentage of faculty responding to the particular option for each item.

Course-Based Survey OptionThe 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.

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.

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.

Frequency distributions are reported separately for faculty who teach lower division and upper division courses.

The name of each variable appears in the first column for easy reference to your data file and the FSSE-NSSE Combined Report .

The 'Count' column represents the actual number of faculty who selected a particular response option for each item.
