The College Student Report
2006 Canadian Codebook
Please note the following for the NSSE dataset and codebook:
1. Invalid responses and non-responses are coded as missing "." in the dataset.
2. Changes to The College Student Report and/or dataset from the previous year are identified by the following:
~ One asterisk (*) denotes a variable that has been revised slightly from last year.
~ Two asterisks (**) denote a variable that has been revised significantly from last year and given a new name.
~ Three asterisks (***) denote a new variable.
3. Changes made in previous years can be viewed in past codebooks, available on the NSSE Web site at
www.nsse.iub.edu/html/institutional_reports.cfm.

Weights
NSSE creates weights for randomly selected first-year and senior respondents based on part-time/full-time status, gender, and institutional enrollment size. Use weights to replicate NSSE benchmark scores, means,
and the frequency column percentages. However, we encourage schools interested in intra-institutional weighting to consider a more sophisticated weighting system that takes into account response rate differences
among additional student subpopulations. NSSE's weights are not appropriate for intra-institutional comparisons in most cases as the response rate differences among subgroups may not be the same as the ones
that exist institution-wide at your school. All three weights below will reproduce your institution's statistics shown in this report, but the N's will differ.
Weight used to calculate average institutional benchmark scores on reports prior to 2006. This weight replicates the original number of respondents for each
WEIGHT1
institution. It is no longer used for NSSE reporting purposes.
WEIGHT2 Although not used for NSSE reports, this intermediary weight variable multiplies the number of respondents to match the institution's overall population size.
Weight used in creating 2006 NSSE reports (e.g., Mean, Frequency, and Benchmark). Using this weight ensures that each institution contributes a proportional
*** WEIGHT3c amount of respondents to reference groups found in NSSE reports based upon overall population size. The 'c' indicates Canadian schools are included in this
version.

Student-Level Index Scores. To facilitate conversations about student engagement and its importance to student learning, collegiate quality, and institutional improvement, NSSE created five
institution-level indicators or benchmarks of effective educational practice: (1) Level of academic challenge; (2) Active and collaborative learning; (3) Student-faculty interaction; (4) Enriching
educational experiences; and (5) Supportive campus environment. Student-level index scores are the precursors to these five institution-level benchmarks. An index score is the student's average
response to items within the index, after all items have been placed on a 100-point scale. Index scores are created for randomly sampled first-year and fourth-year students that answered three-fifths
or more of the items within the group. The benchmark score for an institution is the weighted mean of these student index scores. Not only can institutions replicate their benchmark scores with this
information, but they can also perform intra-institutional comparisons (e.g., department, college, etc.) to dig deeper into their data. For more detailed information about how index scores and
benchmarks are calculated, visit the NSSE Web site at www.nsse.iub.edu/html/2006_inst_report.htm.
Variable Description Component Items
Level of Academic Challenge: Index that measures time spent preparing for class, amount of reading and writing, deep readasgn, writemor, writemid, writesml, analyze, synthesz,
AC
learning, and institutional expectations for academic performance. evaluate, applying, workhard, acadpr01, envschol
Level of Academic Challenge (adjusted): Same as AC, but adjusted for part-time enrollment status. This is the version
given in your Benchmark Comparisons report. Because part-time students spend less time in classes, they are likely to
report lower numbers for several items on The College Student Report (e.g., hours spent preparing for class, number of readasgn, writemor, writemid, writesml, analyze, synthesz,
ACa
papers written, number of assigned books read). Using full-time/part-time ratios from the entire U.S. NSSE cohort, we evaluate, applying, workhard, acadpr01, envschol
adjust part-time student scores to make them resemble those of full-time students when we create the benchmarks. Thus
schools with large populations of part-time students are not negatively impacted by this population.
Active and Collaborative Learning: Index that measures extent of class participation, working collaboratively with clquest, clpresen, classgrp, occgrp, tutor, commproj,
ACL
other students inside and outside of class, tutoring and involvement with a community-based project. oocideas
Student-Faculty Interaction: Index that measures extent of talking with faculty members and advisors, discussing ideas
SFI from classes with faculty members outside of class, getting prompt feedback on academic performance, and working facgrade, facideas, facplans, facfeed, facother, resrch04
with faculty on research projects
Student-Faculty Interaction (comparative): Same as SFI, but excludes the 'resrch04' item (rescaled in 2004 ). Use for facgrade, facideas, facplans, facfeed, facother (excludes
SFc
year-to-year comparisons with 2003, 2002, and 2001 administrations; not needed for comparisons with 2004 or 2005. resrch04)
Enriching Educational Experiences: Index that measures extent of interaction with students of different racial or
ethnic backgrounds or with different political opinions or values, using electronic technology, and participating in
diffstu2, divrstud, envdivrs, cocurr01, itacadem, intern04,
EEE activities such as internships, community service, study abroad, co-curricular activities, and culminating senior
volntr04, lrncom04, forlng04, stdabr04, indstd04, snrx04
experience. Because question 7 was rescaled in 2004, year-to-year comparisons of EEE scores with years prior to
2004 are invalid.
Supportive Campus Environment: Index that measures extent to which students perceive the campus helps them
SCE succeed academically and socially, assists them in coping with non-academic responsibilities, and promotes supportive envsocal, envsuprt, envnacad, envstu, envfac, envadm
relations among students and their peers, faculty members, and administrative personnel and offices
