One way to dig more deeply into benchmark scores is to analyze those items that contribute to the overall
benchmark score. This section features the five items across all benchmarks on which the college scored highest
and the five items on which the college scored lowest relative to the 2019 CCSSE Cohort. It is important to note
that some colleges’ highest mean scores may be lower than the cohort mean, and conversely, some colleges’ lowest
mean scores may be higher than the cohort mean.
While examining these data, keep in mind that the selected items may not be those that are most closely aligned
with the college’s goals; thus, it is important to review all institutional reports on the CCSSE online reporting system
at www.cccse.org
.
Notes:
For Item(s) 4 (except 4e), often and very often responses are combined.
For Item(s) 6, 5–10, 11–20, and more than 20 responses are combined.
For Item(s) 9, quite a bit and very much responses are combined.
For Item 10a, 11–20, 21–30, and more than 30 responses are combined.
For Item(s) 12.1a and 12.1b, 2–4 times and 5 or more times responses are combined because these services are typically used less frequently.
