NSSE
About
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is distributed to hundreds of colleges and universities across the United States to measure students' participation in activities that institutions provide for their learning and personal development. NSSE uses the results of the surveys to help institutions " identify aspects of the undergraduate experience inside and outside the classroom that can be improved through changes in policies and practices more consistent with good practices in undergraduate education."
