National Survey of Student Engagement is now open

Every three years, the University invites undergraduate students in their first and final years of study to take part in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), sharing their perceptions of what’s happening in and out of class, what engages them, what works — and what needs work.

Research undertaken by the developers of the NSSE has identified that certain educational strategies, such as high-impact practices, help students to become deeply involved in their learning, while also fostering strong relationships with others on campus.

High-impact practices include:

  • Being part of a learning community or some other formal program where groups of students take two or more classes together;
  • Taking courses that include a community-based project (service learning);
  • Working with a faculty member on a research project;
  • Internships, co-ops, field experiences, student teaching, or clinical placements;
  • Studying abroad;
  • Undertaking a culminating senior experience, such as capstone courses, senior project or thesis, comprehensive exam, portfolio, etc.

Faculty are encouraged to invite their first- and final-year students to participate in the survey to ensure the response is representative. Eligible students will be contacted via email with invitations to take part. Students who complete the survey by April 21 will receive $5 credited to their UWinCARD. The response rate as of Monday was 11 per cent.
