NSSE 2022 Snapshot University of Houston-Downtown A Summary of Student Engagement Results Comparison Group
Student engagement represents two critical features of collegiate quality. The first is the amount of time and effort students put into their studies and other educationally purposeful activities. The second is how institutional resources, courses, and other learning opportunities facilitate student participation in activities that matter to student learning.
