Endnotes Endnotes a. b. c. d. e. Column percentages are weighted by institution-reported sex and enrollment status (and institution size for comparison groups). Percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding. Counts are unweighted; column percentages cannot be replicated from counts. All statistics are weighted by institution-reported sex and enrollment status (and institution size for comparison groups). Unless otherwise noted, statistical comparisons are two-tailed independent t -tests. Items with categorical response sets are left blank. These are the values used to calculate means. For the majority of items, these values match the codes in the data file and codebook. size for independent t- tests uses Cohen's d ; z- tests use Cohen's h. Statistics are weighted by institution-reported sex and enrollment status (and institution size for comparison groups). Categorical items are not listed. f. The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus or minus 1.96 times the standard error of the mean. g. A measure of the amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution. h. Degrees of freedom used to compute the t -tests. Values differ from Ns due to weighting and whether equal variances were assumed. i. j. k. Statistical comparisons are two-tailed independent t -tests or z -tests. Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between your students' mean and that of the students in the comparison group is due to chance. Statistical comparison uses z- test to compare the proportion who responded (depending on the item) "Done or in progress" or "Yes" with all who responded otherwise. represents the proportion who responded (depending on the item) Done or in progress or "Yes." Key to symbols: Your students average was significantly higher (p <.05) with an effect size at least.3 in magnitude. Your students average was significantly higher (p <.05) with an effect size less than.3 in magnitude. Your students average was significantly lower (p <.05) with an effect size less than.3 in magnitude. Your students average was significantly lower (p <.05) with an effect size at least.3 in magnitude. Note: It is important to interpret the direction of differences relative to item wording and your institutional context. 14 NSSE 2017 TOPICAL MODULE REPORT
