Faculty Survey of Student Engagement

The Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) was designed to complement the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), which is administered to undergraduate students. This instructional staff version focuses on:

  • Instructional staff perceptions of how often students engage in different activities
  • The importance instructional staff place on various areas of learning and development
  • The nature and frequency of instructional staff-student interactions
  • How instructional staff organize their time, both in and out of the classroom
