![Page 22: Promoting Student Engagement: Involving Students with NSSE Planning and Results William Woods University NSSE Users’ Workshop October 6-7, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d5f5503460f94a40375/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Analyze and Write the Report
Sample Quotations/Suggestions “We can read the book and tell you what
we read, so you don’t need to tell us the same information. Tell us something different.”
“WWU does a great job with building and retaining student-teacher relationships.”
“You retain the information so much better when doing it rather than memorizing.”
![Page 23: Promoting Student Engagement: Involving Students with NSSE Planning and Results William Woods University NSSE Users’ Workshop October 6-7, 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d5f5503460f94a40375/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Analyze and Write the Report
Sample Overall Conclusions When asked to describe the types of
activities that challenge them, students cite examples of application of knowledge.
There is exceptionally strong evidence that students feel they are treated as individuals, not numbers, at William Woods University.
100% of the verbal and non-verbal responses indicate that students do not agree with the current attendance policy.

Analyze and Write the Report
“Aha!” moment Equestrian students
put in a lot of time at the barns, but do not consider it to be either homework or “academically challenging” because it does not entail writing a paper, reading a text, or calculating problem sets.
