  3. COACHE • Where Clemson is ahead of other universities • Clarity of the tenure process—expectations, process, criteria • Clarity of the expectations for performance as a teacher • Satisfaction with professional interaction with peers • Satisfaction with how well faculty “fit” in the department

  4. COACHE • Where Clemson is below • Professional interaction with senior faculty • Clarity of their own prospects for earning tenure • Satisfaction with the number of courses taught • Lack of Child Care • Lack of spousal hiring policies • Quality of graduate students

  5. Great Colleges2010 • Third year to participate • Selected as a “great” college in 2008 in shared governance • Detailed report with break downs will not be received until September • Broad overview provided with the publication of the Honor Colleges and Universities

  6. Great Colleges • Categories Ranked Good (we had no very good or excellent areas) • Job Satisfaction/support • Professional Development • Facilities • Pride

  7. Great Colleges • Categories in the Yellow (area of concern; note we had no red categories, the worse) • Senior leadership • Faculty, Administration, and Staff Relations • Communication • Collaboration • Fairness

  8. Student Surveys • ETS Proficiency Profile (formerly MAPP) • Alumni Surveys (one year/three year) • Non-returning Student Survey • Student Satisfaction Survey • National Survey of Student Engagement • Core Alcohol and Drug Survey

  9. Department SpecificSurveys • CCIT • Electrical and Computer Engineering • General Counsel • PEER-WISE • Disability Services • HEHD Advising • Housing • Focus Groups (ex: Food Science graduates)

  10. Assessment Goals • Share data with you annually • College and department use the data in making decisions • Collect value added data

  11. ETS Proficiency--Freshmen Scores

  12. Freshmen

  13. Seniors

  14. Seniors

  15. Alumni SurveysOpportunity for undergraduate research/CI

  16. NSSE • 91% of seniors at Clemson report that “if they could start over again” they would choose Clemson; compared to 88% at our peer and Top 20 institutions and 83% at Carnegie peer institutions. • Freshmen at Clemson agree with seniors. 93% of our freshmen would choose Clemson if they could start over again, compared to 92% at peer and 90% at Top 20 institutions, and 85% at Carnegie institutions.

  17. NSSE • “Entire educational experience” • 95% of freshmen responded excellent/good; compared to 91% at peer and Top 20 and 87% at Carnegie institutions. • 94% of Clemson seniors responded excellent/good. The response at peer and Top 20 institutions is 90% and at Carnegie institutions 85%.

  18. NSSEFreshmen trends

  19. NSSE Findings • CLASS PREPARATION • Students are statistically less prepared for class; they come to class without completing readings or assignments • Freshmen score lower in attending art exhibits, gallery, play, dance, or other theatre productions • Dissatisfaction is significant with graduate teaching assistants.

  20. NSSE--Improvement • DIVERSITY • Students report lower inclusion of diverse perspectives in class discussions and writing assignments (trend is moving in right direction) • Students report that the environment does encourage contact among students from diverse backgrounds, but students do not report the interactions taking place

  21. NSSE and SSI Findings • ADVISING • Mixed results are presented regarding the effectiveness of advising. NSSE results show that 70-80% of students rate the advising as good to excellent, but on the Student Satisfaction Survey only the gap between the importance of advising and satisfaction with advising was significant (1.14; third highest gap). Of particular concern is advising related to curriculum planning. • Only 14% of freshmen and 25% of seniors believe the faculty is available, helpful or sympathetic. • Students are dissatisfied with the protection of freedom of expression, commitment to racial harmony, disciplinary procedures, and the student handbook. • Registration effectiveness is an area for concern. The gap between importance and satisfaction was (1.23), the second highest.

  22. NSSE and SSI Findings • CAMPUS CLIMATE • Only 10% of freshmen and 16% of seniors believe the staff is helpful, considerate, or flexible. • Campus safety has the largest gap (1.76) between importance and satisfaction. The areas included parking (gap of 3.62), lighting of parking lots (gap 1.22), and security response time (gap 1.20).

  23. NSSE • Adding additional analysis by broad disciplines
