Interpreting year-to-year results
For further investigationThe Report Builder—Institution Version, updated with current data in the fall, allows for multi-year analysis of Engagement Indicators and individual items. It also
affords the analysis of results by subpopulation.
Results for ten EIs and selected individual survey items are displayed, organized under four broad themes. The Academic
Challenge theme is represented by four EIs as well as several individual items. The three remaining engagement themes (Learning
with Peers, Experiences with Faculty, and Campus Environment) follow, each represented by two EIs.
Results for six HIPs are displayed. First-year results indicate students who participated in a Learning Community, Service-
Learning, and Research with Faculty, and who planned to do an Internship or Field Experience, Study Abroad, and a Culminating
Senior Experience. Senior results indicate students who participated in all six.
Displays detailed information for results including counts, standard errors, and confidence intervals (CIs) for each measure.
When examining year-to-year results, you may wonder whether observed differences signify meaningful change and whether a trend is indicated. Figures display CIs
around each score showing the range of values that will contain the population score 95% of the time. Upper and lower CI bounds are also reported in the Detailed
Statistics section.

NSSE 2016 Multi-Year ReportAbout This Report
For institutions participating in multiple NSSE administrations since 2013, the year of the last survey update, this report presents year-to-year results for Engagement
Indicators (EIs), High-Impact Practices (HIPs), and key academic challenge items to illustrate patterns of change or stability. It also provides details such as number
of respondents, standard deviation, and standard error so that statistical tests can be calculated.
For more information and recommendations for analyzing NSSE data over time, consult the Multi-Year Data Analysis Guide on the NSSE website.

This report contains three main parts: (a) a page that provides a quick reference to important information about each year’s administration, (b) multi-year figures,
and (c) detailed statistics. Key terms and features are illustrated below.

The precision of an institution's population estimates can vary between administrations. An important early step in conducting a multi-year analysis is to review data
quality. The values in the tables below were drawn from your Administration Summary reports.

Note: All of your institution's participation years since 2013 (the first year of the updated NSSE) are reported. Years in which your institution did not participate are blank.
a. Response rates (number of respondents divided by sample size) are adjusted for ineligibility, nondeliverable addresses, and students who were unavailable during the survey administration.
b. Sampling error gauges the precision of results based on a sample survey. It is an estimate (at the 95% confidence level) of how much survey item percentages for your respondents could differ from those of the entire
population of students at your institution. While data with larger sampling errors (such as +/-10%) need not be dismissed out of hand, such results should be interpreted more conservatively.
c. This is the count used to calculate response rates and sampling errors for each year's Administration Summary report. This number includes all census-administered and randomly sampled students.

University of New HampshireEngagement Indicators (EIs) provide valuable information about distinct aspects of student engagement, organized within four themes. EI scores represent the averaged student
responses to a set of related survey questions. The Academic Challenge theme contains four EIs as well as several important individual items. See page 10 for detailed statistics. For
more information, including the items that make up each EI, refer to your Engagement Indicators report.
a. Values for Course Reading and Assigned Writing are estimates calculated from two or more survey questions. The Course Reading question was modified after 2013; comparability between 2013 and later years is limited.
b. Extent to which courses challenged students to do their best work (from 1 = "Not at all" to 7 = "Very much").
c. How much students said the institution emphasizes spending significant time studying and on academic work (1 = "Very little," 2 = "Some," 3 = "Quite a bit," and 4 = "Very much").

calculated from three survey
questions.
Course Challenge Extent to which courses challenged
students to do their best work (1 =
"Not at all" to 7 = "Very much").

spending significant time studying
and on academic work (1 = "Very
little," 2 = "Some," 3 = "Quite a bit,"
