FSSE Report Builder: FYI
Here are all the tips, suggestions, and notes to help you make the most of the FSSE Report Builder:
Welcome Page
- To protect the identities of institutions represented in the data, institutions will not be listed or named in this report builder. Results will only be given in aggregate form.
- A minimum of six institutions and 250 faculty members are required for results to be produced.
- Only U.S. institutions are included.
Step 1: Select Report Variables
Step 2: Select a Column Variable
- If you select an institutional characteristic as a column variable, then each column in your result set must have at least six institutions. For other column variables, only the total number of institutions in your result set must be more than six.
Step 3: Select Institutions
- If you selected an institutional characteristic as a column variable, then each column in your result set must have at least six institutions. For other column variables, only the total number of institutions in your result set must be more than six. If these criteria are not met, you will see an error message instructing you to broaden your criteria.
- To maintain all institutions within a particular category (including those with missing data), be sure the category box is unselected.
- Some criteria in combination include very few institutions. For example, you cannot produce a report of small-sized private doctoral universities.
Step 4: Select Faculty
- The data for your report must contain at least 250 respondents. If your criteria result in a sample of fewer than 250 faculty members, you will see a message informing you to expand your selections.
- Some criteria in combination include very few faculty members, such as non-U.S. citizen part-time lecturers.
- To maintain all faculty within a particular category (including those with missing data), be sure the category box is unselected.
