I like the consistency! I did notice a column that seemed to have a year (2103 v. 2014), so we may be including schools who participated last year. Good question about including our school in the comparison group. When I run comparison between two groups, the groups are distinct, e.g. no overlap, so I would exclude ourselves to make distinct groups for the comparison statistics. We may need to ask NSSE. This reminds of a topic we discussed at last year's COPLAC conference/annual meeting in Shepardstown. COPLAC has server space that we can use to share documents. We had discussed using this space to share things, e.g. common asked policy questions. My understanding is COPLAC or maybe Brian as NSSE coordinator receives a report from NSSE with the COPLAC consortium results. Could we look into organizing this server space to share the NSSE reports so we can the COPLAC means that includes everyone? Julie PS - are any IR folks going to the COPLAC meeting next week in Fort Lewis?

However I'm pretty sure its shortcoming will be that it only includes actual consortium participants. It might require a special order to get the COPLAC schools who didn't opt in to the consortium, if it can be done at all. Or else we designate one person to collect the data from all schools and compile the report like we do for the annual COPLAC report. Attached is a copy of the report I got as Conn.

This regards the additional items that the consortium participants included, not the modules you may have done. You might or might not remember hearing from me in February that there was a slight glitch with two of our additional items, where the response options were mistakenly changed to an agreement scale instead of a satisfaction scale. No one panicked at that time, nor should they have. It was a simple matter of alerting NSSE to fix the response options for those two questions, which they did. The emails below are a recent dialogue between myself and the NSSE team. Louis provides a pretty detailed accounting of the effect of the glitch, or lack thereof, on the two affected items. I'll let you have a look and just let me and/or Louis know if you have any questions. Brian R. Lashley, Ph.D. Assistant Director of Inst. Res. Eastern Connecticut State Univ.

Your findings on how the two versions were responded to aren't very surprising to me. The student worker who brought this to my attention said he could tell what was meant, and answered accordingly.

About 31% of the COPLAC respondents received the incorrect response frame (1,607 students in 10 out of the 14 institutions). From examining the frequency distributions, it appears as though students answered the two versions of the question similarly (see frequency distributions below). Also, examining skip patterns showed that students who received the incorrect response frame did not skip these questions at a higher rate than those who received the correct version (fewer than 1% of COPLAC respondents skipped these items in both the correct and incorrect versions). How you would like this to be presented in the consortium reports? Given the similar distributions, I recommend that we combine the two versions into one variable in the report and add a footnote that says the following: "About 31% of students at 10 of the 14 COPLAC institutions received a mislabeled version of this item (Response options were incorrectly given as "Strongly disagree" to "Strongly agree"). Analysis of response distributions demonstrates that students answered both versions similarly. Upon request, NSSE will provide a data file which identifies students who received the mislabeled version."

Thanks for understanding. You are correct. Students saw the incorrect response options up until this past Friday evening for two survey questions, and then it was corrected as shown below in the second snapshot. Let me know if we can provide any additional information.

We'll deal with it. Everything is fine. Would it be OK for me to forward your email to the other COPLAC NSSE contacts? And do I understand in point 3 below that issue is that some students saw one set of response options (the agreement scale) while other students saw another set (the satisfaction scale)? So technically there have been two different sets of additional items. Thanks very much for your help. Brian R. Lashley, Ph.D. Assistant Director of Inst. Res. Eastern Connecticut State Univ. Gelsi-Young Hall room 248 Willimantic, CT 06226 860-465-5596 From: Sarraf, Shimon Aaron [mailto:ssarraf at indiana.edu] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 11:57 AM To: Lashley, Brian (Institutional Research) Cc: Rocconi, Louis Marshall; NSSETM1; Brooks, Jennifer Lynn Subject: NSSE 2014 Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges consortium item set Hi, Brian: As I believe you've already heard from Mark, we did confirm that the response option text to two consortium items were inaccurate. NSSE staff are very sorry this error was not caught before your administration began. We have multiple checks in place but for several reasons it was not identified; needless to say, our checking process will change because of this. I just want to provide a brief summary of where we are currently: 1) Approximately 1,600 students submitted responses to your consortium item set as of late Friday (distributed across 10 of the 14 schools in your consortium) 2) There is a lot more data that has yet to be collected. By the time the error was fixed this past Friday evening (2/21/14), 15 recruitment messages had been delivered to students at the 10 affected schools. Five institutions had only their invitation delivered while the other five also had their 1st reminder delivered. Collectively, there are 55 more recruitment messages to be delivered across all 14 schools. 3) We plan to conduct an analysis to help determine best ways to provide the data and reports in August. Once we have looked at the data closely during the late spring and summer, we will reach out again to provide an update. Again, we regret that this occurred and will work hard to prevent it from ever happening again. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate contacting me by email or phone.

For example, it sounds like there were agreement scale response options for a question asking how enthusiastic the faculty are. Can you have a look? And maybe let me see how that section appears to the student? Thanks! Brian R.

Please review the important information below. After your administration begins, the dispositions summary on the Institutional Interface will detail responses. You can track how many students have completed the survey, for example, and whether or not any email messages are returned as undeliverable. You can also download a file detailing which students have completed the survey and when, which can be used by you for awarding incentives. We strongly recommend that you monitor these details closely. We will be monitoring response rates, too, and will automatically stop administrations with evidence of technical issues. The document below details technical specifications to prepare for message delivery and should be shared with IT professionals on your campus. https://websurv.indiana.edu/nsse/interface/img/PreparingforMessageDelivery.pdf Please contact us if you have questions.
