[NSSE 2011 Benchmark Graph Images]

Description

Students learn firsthand how experts think about and solve practical problems by interacting with faculty members inside and outside the classroom.  As a result, their teachers become role models, mentors, and guides for continuous, life-long learning.

(Graph shows benchmark scores.)

NSSE Questions Used to Calculate the Benchmark Score:

• Discussed grades or assignments with an instructor
• Talked about career plans with a faculty member or advisor
• Discussed ideas from your readings or classes with faculty members outside of class
