Beyond the Institutional Report: A Guide to Your NSSE Data File

Abstract

NSSE reports are a great resource for assessing the quality of undergraduate education on your campus, but may not answer specific questions about the engagement of particular subpopulations, relationships between engagement and other institutional information, or the unique experiences of students in different programs or campuses at your institution. Questions such as these can be analyzed using the student-level, identified data files provided with your reports. This webinar is a guided tour of your data files including variable ordering, variable naming conventions, how we create derived variables from survey responses, tips for using various recorded variables, and more.
