Total
*Peer group determined by the Center for Community College Student Engagement based on institutional enrollment size during the
administration term.
**Effect Size: Center for Community College Student Engagement considers a difference in mean to be significant when there is an
effect size of -.20 or greater.
***Question 4e is deemed successful if the 2017 institutional score was less than the peer average or previous comparison score.
Since the question is reversely worded (“came to class without completing readings or assignments), an average score closer to 1
(never) is the preferred outcome on the Likert score scale (1=never, 2=sometimes, 3=often and 4=very often).
