  19. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS HERI Faculty Survey To what extent do you? Full-time undergraduate faculty, % Great extent

  20. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS • HERI Faculty Survey • Conclusions: • Character counts. • 2. i.e., NDSU faculty are more interested in “niceness,” “character,” and “happiness,” and instilling these attributes in students than faculty at peers. • 3. NDSU faculty are happy campers.

  21. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS HERI Faculty Survey Conclusion: Students are saying it is nice to play nice with the faculty and we appreciate where we think you are coming from, but we are afraid we are not learning enough. This is probably because faculty are overestimating both the amount of entry student academic ability and the amount of student learning upon exit from NDSU. Faculty need to narrow this perception gap.

  22. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS Full-time undergraduate faculty, % Very important & Essential HERI Faculty Survey Importance as undergrad goals?

  23. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS Alumni Outcomes Survey -1999-2001 combined Only 36% said NDSU had a major impact on “Recognizing and using effective written communication skills,” compared to 45% for peers. The respective moderate percentages were 47 and 37%, i.e., sums of major and moderate impact the same, but reversed in disfavor of NDSU.

  24. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS Alumni Outcomes Survey -1999-2001 combined “Writing should be a larger part of the upper-level courses at NDSU. I believe NDSU students need more writing skills education than they receive in the required English courses.” “I could have used more writing classes, particularly technical writing.” “However, I think more classes should stress writing skills and public speaking.”

  25. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS HERI Faculty Survey How well descriptive of NDSU? Full-time undergraduate faculty, % Very descriptive

  26. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS HERI Faculty Survey Satisfied with these job aspects? Full-time undergraduate faculty, % Satisfied or Very satisfied

  38. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS Other sources of collaborative information ACT Withdrawing/Non-returning Student Survey – 2 years Disappointed with quality of instruction – major/minor reason Third among sophomores at 15% Fourth among juniors at 10% Third overall at 8%

  39. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS Other sources of collaborative information Internal survey of withdrawing students “Instructor/classes” has slowly risen to the top of things not liked about NDSU from 13% fall 2002 to 23% spring 2005.

  40. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS Other sources of collaborative information Five focus groups each of undergraduates and graduate students at 10 students each spring 2005 “Nice, friendly, competent university; but level of instruction is not something we can complement you on, particularly for us undergraduates, who have seen a 50% increase in tuition alone the last five years along with fee increases as well.”

  41. HERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS HERI Faculty Survey Conclusions: Students are saying it is nice to play nice with the faculty and we appreciate where we think you are coming from, but we are afraid we are not learning enough. This is probably because faculty are overestimating both the amount of entry student academic ability and the amount of student learning upon exit from NDSU. Faculty need to narrow this perception gap.

  42. North Dakota State UniversityOffice of Institutional Research and AnalysisHERI Faculty Survey; Student NSSE, SSI, AOS Speculation Faculty are projecting their positive views of and aspirations for the world onto the students and thus internalizing perceptions of student preparation and learning that are higher than reality. The energies from the generally positive attitudes of the faculty and the students need to be continually encouraged to be directed toward increased student learning.
