TODAY AT NOON - Join Natalie Parker for a short overview of the most recent National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) data for Texas Wesleyan University. NSSE is administered to first-year students and seniors every other year. Student responses are compared to regional institutions, a peer group and schools with the same Carnegie classification.

Why this presentation might be useful to faculty:

Discover whether your perceptions of student engagement match the survey data

Reflect on how you might help the institution address any areas of improvement through course design or interaction with students

Review the 11 high-impact practices published by the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) and their relationship to the NSSE questions
