One of the tasks of scientific method is that of classifying objects or events into categories and of describing the similar characteristics of members of each type.

Faculty and administrators are more likely to take responsibility for student learning and development if they believe that assessment data represent their students and identify specific actions for improvement. An earlier study found that NSSE scalelets provide dependable metrics for assessing student engagement at the university, college, and department levels. Building on the earlier study, ...
