What is the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE)?
The Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) is a survey that has been run by Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research since 2004. The FSSE was designed to complement the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The FSSE measures the perceptions of staff members about how often students engage in particular activities, the importance staff place on different areas of teaching, learning and student development, the nature and frequency of faculty-student interactions and how faculty members organise their time in, and out of the classroom. To date, around 100,000 academics from more than 485 universities have taken part in the FSSE.
