NSSE 2007 Survey Results

NSSE 2007 Table of Contents

This summary of survey results will focus primarily on five clusters of survey items identified by NSSE administrators as benchmarks of effective educational practice. Each benchmark has a score representing a group of survey items expressed on a 100-point scale. These five benchmarks are:

  1. Active and Collaborative Learning
  2. Student-Faculty Interaction
  3. Level of Academic Challenge
  4. Supportive Campus Environment
  5. Enriching Educational Experiences

The NSSE represents best practices in undergraduate education but also is designed to apply to a variety of institutional contexts. Therefore, it is important to look at the results in light of UNL's mission and context including specific programming and institutional initiatives. A contextual interpretation of results accompanies discussion results for each score.
