NSSE=National Survey of Student Engagement 

Excerpt: “The NSSE survey, launched in 2000 and updated in 2013, assesses the extent to which students engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. The questionnaire collects information in five categories: (1) participation in dozens of educationally purposeful activities, (2) institutional requirements and the challenging nature of coursework, (3) perceptions of the college environment, (4) estimates of educational and personal growth since starting college, and (5) background and demographic information.”

Discussion questions:

• How define, assess quality of student-faculty interaction?  Especially, as reported by students?
• How are more traditional notions of academic rigor challenged by concerns for student-faculty interaction?
