Topical Findings
To encourage participating institutions to showcase their FSSE findings, a list of sample analyses accompanied by an explanation of the selected results are featured below. Findings come from the population of institutions that participate in a FSSE administration year and can be used to contextualize faculty practices and perceptions on individual campuses. FSSE data users can recreate each illustration by downloading the SPSS syntax associated with each survey option.
Many of the featured findings are based on survey items that were only asked during a particular FSSE administration; this is why some findings only feature results from one year.
