2002 NSSE: Level of Academic Challenge

Graph of Level of Academic ChallengeNSSE notes that "colleges and universities promote high levels of student achievement by setting high expectations for student performance." This idea is the foundation of the Level of Academic Challenge benchmark.  

Eleven questions from the survey were used to develop this benchmark. Click on any of the questions to see Guilford's results in a new window.


How much time did they spend preparing for class (studying, reading, writing, rehearsals, etc.)? How often did they work harder than they thought they could to meet their professors' expectations?
How many textbooks were they assigned? How many papers were they assigned of 20 pages or more? 5-19 pages? Fewer than 5 pages?
Did their coursework emphasize analyzing the basic elements of an idea, experience or theory? Did their coursework emphasize synthesizing and organizing ideas?
Did their coursework emphasize making judgments about the value of information arguments or methods? Did their coursework emphasize applying theories or concepts to practical problems?
Does Guilford College emphasize spending significant amounts of time studying?
