Active and Collaborative Learning (NSSE)

What does Active and Collaborative Learning mean?
Students learn more when they are intensely involved in their education and asked to think about what they are learning in different settings. Collaborating with others in solving problems or mastering difficult material prepares students for the messy, unscripted problems they will encounter daily during and after college.

How is the score determined?
The Active and Collaborative Learning benchmark score in NSSE comes from a combination of different survey questions asked of first-year and senior students at the College. Survey items for this benchmark include: 

  • Asked questions in class or contributed to class discussions
  • Made a class presentation 
  • Worked with other students on projects during class 
  • Worked with classmates outside of class to prepare class assignments 
  • Tutored or taught other students 
  • Participated in a community-based project as part of a regular course 
  • Discussed ideas from your readings or classes with others outside of class (students, family members, co-workers, etc.)
