Faculty Survey of Student Engagement

The Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) is designed to measure faculty expectations for student engagement in educational practices that are empirically linked with high levels of learning and development. All faculty who teach at least one undergraduate course in the academic year in which we are surveying are invited to participate. The College of Charleston uses the course-based version of the instrument, in which faculty members respond to questions about student engagement based on a course taught during the current academic year.  The survey is administered online via email invitation in the spring semester.
